don't believe that is a correct assumption.
The vm/reference classes are a reference implementation of how to
integrate Classpath with VMs.
[The reference is of course Japhar; when there are more VM
implementations it would make sense to rename the reference classes to
what they actually are: vm/japhar]
Anyway... you can steal bits of the code from vm/reference for your
own vm integration project as long as you don't downgrade the
"GPL-ness" of the licence
(this is a function of the LGPL).
So utitlising code from vm/reference in the "GPL-with-exceptions"
licence of gcj I think would be okay.
