        Ooh - I didn't realise that; interesting :-)

Yes, it includes a JVM (IBM's proprietary J9 one) and most of the
Eclipse framework for the GUI stuff.

        Last I checked the Eclipse license is a weak copy-left license, and
thus persona-non-grata in Apache - in the same way that MPL and others
are not welcome.

I have seen some questions on what exactly it is that is being offered,
but nobody from IBM has replied with any specifics yet.

        Since this is (by now) at least the fourth significant announcement &
press interest in ~the same thing (since 2007), and still no code - I'm
not trying to hold my breath like I did the first time ;-) But perhaps
there'll be something useful we can re-use.

        ATB,

                Michael.
