All in all and I am not a lawyer from a copyright standpoint, I would say Java and guile are about the same. Different restrictions of course but the end result is that in one Sun owns the code and in the other the sources for guile most be made available. Take your pick.... One nice thing about guile is that it works and is available today . Sure that it needs more work but I bet that in the same amount time that anyone in here spends on *porting* Java you will be further along with guile. Enjoy, Amancio
