I think Tim has moved.  Peter and his brother Joerg will move soon
(see Peter's post to the biss-awt list).

It would be nice if somebody could come up with a way for them to make
some money while developing "Open Source" free software.  That's not
the easiest trick in the world to do...

<shhh>
Hmmm, I wonder if a certain large proprietary software company (based
in California) that is launching their first "Open Source" product
would have a use for a "Open Source" free version of Java?
</shhh>

(remember, a little innuendo can't hurt) :-)
