I'm looking at the license for the JDK 1.3 documentation. (Click to download the HTML
docs to see it)
I'm wondering about the "subsetting" and "supersetting" clauses, what does that imply
for classpath?
Also what about vi), do we have to satisfy their testing requirements 6 months before
a release?
