I think you will find that all the Java specifications are protected by a similar license (which basically preserves the namespace usage and requires complete conformance from an implementation). Even specs that get printed will have a license included in the book. Only third party books that describe an API will not have such a license, but nor are they definitive sources of information on an API specification. Best get this cleared through FSF legal ASAP.
