Said Brett. That's just your opinion. One should try to stick to
principles as much as possible, but, in this case, it would be
counterproductive to do so. So what could be done? Have you talked with
the TenDra guys? Have you looked at the current state of the Princeton
compiler? How about a poll in the hackers@ mailing list asking for
collaboration? Of course it would be insane to try to do it as
one-person project. I think Terry already said it, get some people and
others will follow. But this holy war against the GPL leads nowhere.
Cheers.
