Hi,
I got the following diff in the mediation wiki:

First: Please do not use the wiki for discussion, we have the mailing
list for that (Public archival is important).
Regarding Note(1):
AFAIK use of the LGPL for Classpath has complications for users who want
to use classpath in an embedded environment. More detailed discussion of
this topic can be found here: http://developer.classpath.org/licensing
Note2: It is our idea to use JacORB for Classpath and just implement
some common code. However I am no expert on CORBA and this may be wrong.
Audrius, could you please comment on this?
