I have posed Dan's question to legal-dicuss: Does the AS IS clause of
the Apache 2.0 license conflict with the "testing and evaluation
purposes only" clause of JDBC4's early-draft disclaimer. For more
context, see the discussion in the comments of DERBY-1639.
Geir Magnusson answered "yes", this is a conflict. The following
options occur to me:
1) Convince the JDBC4 expert group to accelerate the final draft of
the JDBC4 spec.
2) Ship 10.2 without JDBC4 support.
3) Other creative options?
