Sorry if this is a resend.  I tried to send this message earlier but never
saw it show up on the list:

Thanks David,

My understanding of this list is that I will be able to obtain answers that
are under the duel license (licensed under the 3-clause BSD license and
also GPLv2) as stated in the mail list info at
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/penrose-discuss

Keeping that in mind, answers that point to example code that is only
licensed under GPLv2 will not help.  I will be using this list to ask lots
of questions that others would likely find out simply by looking at the GPL
source code.  Unfortunately I don't have that option and I need to keep to
a channel that avoids exposure to GPLv2 only source.

Tom
