IANAL, but ecj is just a jar file; it isn't linked against cygwin, so as long as its license allows for redistribution, how could it be incompatible with Cygwin's license? > There are bugs in the java distro right now which I'll try and fix before > the next major release (but not for the rapid-respin I'm liable to do first). So I see. I see that Debian builds gcj and all the java stuff separately from the other gcc backends; maybe such a setup would be helpful here as well?
