Except that Oracle (now) wants it to be (but concurred in
the past with
Apache that it should be allowed).
See this rather strange Q/A in the JSPA2 FAQ:
Q: What
are some of the benefits of JSPA 2?
A: there are
many, many differences between JSPA
1 and JSPA 2. Some of the bigger and more
interesting ones
are:...
* These compatible independent
implementations
will be allowed to use an Open Source Software license such
as
for example the Apache license.

Interesting and really fresh perspective.
I haven't seen that one discussed before.
If one in that situation goes through the stack, from the hardware and up, what
are the layers' license then on an Android phone before one reaches a
proprietary app?
Maybe this is after all what Oracle is after?

API's, it seems to me are colors, red, blue, green, intermixed and with varying
shades of dark and light - placed carefully on artist's palate. A mobile brush
dips delicately into Sun yellow and Oracle blue to create Android green. The
programmer then places their chosen hue on an algorithm sketch and with each
brush stroke hopes to create a masterpiece. Open colors cannot be owned, are
free in Harmony and there is never any stolen gold at rainbows end.
