Re: CORBA

[Sascha Brawer]

Hi Robert and Meskauskas,

there's already a bunch of free Java ORBs out there. For a list, see 
[1]. Maybe it would be worth trying to convince one of the authors to 
donate their work to the FSF, before going through the effort to write 
yet another one? (Sorry I won't have the time to do it myself)...

[2] http://www.jacorb.org/ -- I've heard good things about this LGPLed 
ORB; JBoss uses it
