Please read all the comments about the TCK, above.
The point I was making was that you cannot use any language or platform, free or
closed to infringe on copyright without a licence. As long as Oracle have not
lost the API Specification SSO protection in court, anything that copies it is a
copyright violation. Even independent API implementations like Harmony's that
don't copy the document, but do copy the SSO are claimed to infringe, according
to Oracle's legal theory. You've seen all the court papers about this.
Nothing in the Java licence allows you to infringe on the copyright in the Java
Language Specification and the Java API Specification documents which are not
programs and are not, therefore, freed by any GPL.
