Re: CORBA

[Brian Sumner]

Hey,
   Sorry it took so long to reply, I've been buried at my day job for a 
couple of weeks.  I picked up here in the thread since most of the later 
messages had to do with licensing debates, which I'm not really 
qualified for.  My original plan was to go the clean room route using 
the specification pdfs that one of the other developers had pointed me 
to, since the concensus seems that that is a totally safe legal route.
   That said, I am all for dividing the work up into tasks to make it 
smaller chucks for anyone interested.  I'd appreciate suggestions on how 
to go about this, since as I've said before this is my first time 
volunteering for work on free software.

Thanks,
Brian
