SUN Microsystems We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

"I completely agree. I never said it was maintained by Redhat just that Redhat has a good stake in it and relies on it for competitive performance case in point: jonas support"

Sorry about the misunderstanding ;)

Pretty much any other free runtime has a stake in GNU Classpath as well. Kaffe increasingly relies on GNU Classpath for a great class libraries implementation. It's really a collaborative effort between projects as diverse as SableVM and JC, to name two.

Red Hat, while being a large contributor, does not get to control the direction of GNU Classpath in any other way than any other contributor does: through their hard work on it. There is no other means of control anyone but the project admins have.
