Why don't you ask Simon Phipps about the details?
The interoperability issue btw. relates to Amendment Article 6a of the
Parliament package to the CII directive.
Even EICTA was split on this.
Article 6a – Use of Patened Techniques
“Member States shall ensure that, wherever the use of a patented technique is
needed or a significant purpose such as ensuring conversion of the conventions
used in two diferent computer systems or networks so as to allow communication
and exchange of data content between them, such use is not consideed to be a
patent infingement"[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I'm not a lawyer, but the wording appears to be specific suggestion to European
Commission on possible amendment to
1991 EC Software Copyright Directive. See
rebentisch post above. If this were the case, does one really believe the sole
and lonely copy of this Position Paper resided upon Sun's corporate website?
That no lawyers were involved? And they shredded their product after completion?
Seriously?
