We're just as anxious to get something out, believe me! I encourage
any of you who will be visiting LinuxWorld tomorrow to drop by the
Cygnus booth and say hi to Alex Petit-Bianco. If you check out the
gcj ChangeLogs you'll see that we have the real deal at this show -
not just some booth-bots! :-)

The current plan is for the runtime to be LGPL'd, so it is possible to
develop applications can have their own licensing.
