[legal] MMTK & Apache licenses -- are they compatible?

This is a question for Apache legal.  Will the existing licenses allow
Harmony incubator volunteers to port MMTK to one of the incubator's
JVMs?  Can the modifications to the JVM be checked-in Harmony svn
repository?

There is no desire to put MMTK source in the Harmony repository.  MMTK
stays at its current home.  Only mods that support the MMTK interface
would be put in Apache svn repository.

    Thanks
          Weldon

Yes.  It's really up to MMTK to accept any patches necessary.

Modifications to our JVM?  Of course.  IRRC, MMTK is CPL, which we 
should be able to distribute in binary form.

Good - that won't happen w/o IBM and the rest of the copyright holders 
relicensing it.

If they are patches to MMTK, they will probably still be under CPL, so 
they can't go here.

If the are mods to our JVMs, of course they can go here.
