org.omg link on Classpath homepage

[Stuart Ballard]

There is a link to http://www.omg.org/ on Classpath's homepage, 
referencing it as a "provider for free core packages" for the org.omg 
packages. I have a few questions about this:

1) I can't actually find any downloadable implementation of the org.omg 
packages in the omg site. It might be helpful to provide a more direct 
link to exactly where the code can be found.

2) Last I heard, there were some questions about the freeness and/or GPL 
compatibility of the OMG's license. If that has changed and their 
classes are clearly unambiguously free and GPL compatible, wouldn't it 
be a good idea to include them directly in Classpath's CVS? And if not...
  a) If they're not free, isn't it a violation of GNU project policy to 
link to them at all - ESPECIALLY without prominently stating that 
they're not free?
  b) If they are free but aren't GPL-compatible, shouldn't there be a 
prominent warning because (if I understand the issues correctly) that 
would make anything that's simultaneously a derived work of Classpath 
and the org.omg packages completely unredistributable?

If they *are* free and GPL-compatible but simply not included in 
Classpath's CVS, it would be nice if whoever's producing japi files 
these days would include them in Classpath's japi: That would probably 
increase the number of green packages substantially[1]! :)

Stuart.

[1] Classpath vs JDK1.2 is currently red in only two places: javax.swing 
and org.omg. You could cut that in half :)
