The GPL release of the JAL compiler raises a bunch of questions about open
source software that I hadn't thought of before, mostly along the lines of
what sort of changes you're interested in accepting from "the community."
For instance, the monolithic nature of the current source makes me think
that there would be any number of people thinking "hey, all I have to do is
break this up into reasonably sized modules, and I can add 'made extensive
changes to open source JAL compiler' to my resume."  Some of these people
might be capable of doing a reasonable job, but it becomes really fuzzy
as to whether this is the sort of change that Wouter would be willing
to accept back...
