There is another project out there that classpathx can share code with. 
But that aside, it's great to see Glassfish under Classpath's license, too.

Yes. Otoh, since the FSF would like to upgrade its projects to GPLv3 in 
general, we're waiting to see what
a) the FSF will do about the update of Classpath and other gcc exception 
texts
for GPLv3
b) if Sun will adopt GPLv3 for their implementations, too

so therefore, we're not merging in GPLv2 only code into Classpath at 
this point in time, in particular since FSF's GCC project includes a 
copy of Classpath, and GCC will be moving to GPLv3 (with potentially 
updated exception texts) for the next release.
