The agreement doesn't specifically prohibit the use of interpreters (just those than run external code). It also doesn't say anything about machine generated code. The only thing one would have to ensure is that the dependencies of JHC are all compiled in, or statically linked. Shared libs are disallowed in any app. If it has a runtime dependency on gcc (is there such a thing?) Then you would have to statically link it and therefore couldn't sell your application. (gotta love GPL)
No problem here, the gcc licence explicity states things compiled with it are not considered derivative works. And after all, Mac OS X is compiled with gcc, apple X-Code uses gcc as its compiler and I think gcc may even be the only objective C compiler out there. John -- John Meacham - ⑆repetae.net⑆john⑈
