A few points:
* You can redistribute Java legally. Just think of a way to suck out the
bits you want when building Kawa.
* If you're just using interfaces like List.., It's just an interface -
i.e. part of the open Java definition, it doesn't contain any actual
code. Pretty easy to "reverse engineer" if you want to use that term
and finally...
If you just want a class to implement List but you don't have List...
package java.util; public interface List { }
Just create an empty interface.
