Re: SystemClassLoader

Hi Archie,

I would be interested in using your code if it was licensed under the
less restrictive LGPL.  Some people even suggested that it would be
very nice of you if you could put this code in the public domain, so
that any jvm, regardless of license, would be able to use it...

Are you up to making a great donation to the world, and conquer it?

:-))
