As in making looking glass part of a distribution? Or do you mean
distributing Looking Glass separately but tailored for specific
distributions?

If you are looking to distribute Looking Glass as part of Fedora
Extras, Looking Glass is going to have to be buildable and usable with
the native gcj java stuff provided by Core.
If Looking Glass requires a proprietary jvm it can't be part of Extras
as a matter of policy.

If Looking Glass can be built/used with the gcj java implementation in
Core then there shouldn't be anything obvious stopping you from
maintaining Looking Glass in Extras since the licensing on the project
seems acceptible. But my understanding is Looking Glass requires a
proprietary java implementation which is a non-starter for the
discussion on how you can maintain this in Extras.
