runs not on free software

[mms@…]

JOSM doesn't run on free software yet. It would be most convenience to include JOSM in Debian main.

The following JAR (built using gcj from current JOSM sources) runs under gij as reported by Sander Hoentjen:

​http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/josm-gij.jar

To get this to compile, I had to remove references to "GetMousePosition" in the code and in the process commented out some (non-essential) functionality; the resulting application works without problems.

We still have to work out how to get those little bits of code that depend on GetMousePosition working under gij but that should not be a big deal.

I could not contact the author of the library yet, but I still think, that JOSM is not a combined work of MinML2 and MinML2 is not a combined of JOSM, they are only packaged in the same jar-Archive, so I think the fact that JOSM and MinML2's licenses are incompatible is interesting but not relevant for distributing JOSM.

Still: Long term plan is to replace MinML2 ;)
