Yes, this looks like a very useful contribution. Thanks.

Hehe :)

But indeed. We have some requirements to make sure GNU Classpath is and
always will be Free Software. So we are keeping a paper-trail of all
contributions. Please see the overview at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/hacking.html#SEC2

And some more info on our developer wiki if you need some
background:
http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/ClasspathFirstSteps

I'll send you the forms and formal questions off-list.

Thanks,

Mark
