Hi All,
Trent and I have been discussing the license issues of the
JSR spec and code that we develop, as a community.
Here is what we have come up with:

>During the development, the new JSR spec that we derive
>will be

>just interfaces, any contributions will come back to me, for inclusion
>into the specification. The goal is to provide a detailed set of 
>interfaces that
>document the present state of our reference model. I am using
>the RXTX as the reference model. If there is something missing from
>the reference model, or if the reference model has something that should
>not be there, we will need to discuss it.

>After Sun accepts the JSR, I, as the copyright holder, can issue

>The goal is to migrate the interfaces into javax.comm.

Does this sound like a reasonable plan to everyone?

Thanks!
  - Doug
