Rick Hillegas updated DERBY-1639:
---------------------------------
Attachment: derby-1639-notice_v02.diff
Thanks for the quick review, Dan. I'm attaching a second rev of the patch,
derby-1639-notice_v02.diff, which changes "jdk1.6" to "Java SE 6". I will make
corresponding changes to the release note.
I'm not a lawyer. However, I think that AS IS may be a statement about Apache's
liability and basically means "You use this software at your own risk." The JCP
early-draft language ("for testing and evaluation purposes only") seems to me
to be a statement about the licenses Derby agrees to. The issues seem
complementary to me.

> from the license:
> 3. Distribute applications written to the
> Specification to third parties for their testing and
> evaluation use, provided that any such application
> includes the following notice:
> "This is an application written to interoperate
> with an early-draft specification developed under the
> Java Community Process (JCP) and is made available for
> testing and evaluation purposes only. The code is not
> compatible with any specification of the JCP."
> This notice needs to be included in the NOTICES file, and should also be used
> to frame discussion of JDBC 4.0 features in the release notes and
> documentation.
> Here is a RELEASE NOTE for inclusion with this issue. I am editting this note
> into the Description field so that we can amend it if necessary:
> ----------------- RELEASE NOTE --------------------
> PROBLEM:
> Derby 10.2 exposes an implementation of an early draft version of the JDBC4
> specification.
> SYMPTOM:
> This issue only affects you if you are running the Derby network client or
> embedded server on jdk1.6. This issue does not affect you if you are running
> Derby on jdk1.3, jdk1.4, or jdk1.5.
> When run on jdk1.6, Derby's network client and embedded server expose JDBC
> implementations which do not conform to an approved, final version of the
> JDBC specification. Instead, these implementations adhere to an early-draft
> version of the JDBC4 specification. Please note the following:
> This is an application written to interoperate with an early-draft
> specification developed under the Java Community Process (JCP) and is made
> available for testing and evaluation purposes only. The code is not
> compatible with any specification of the JCP.
> SOLUTION:
> A follow-on release will expose JDBC4 implementations conforming to the final
> draft of the JDBC4 specification.
> WORKAROUND:
> Run Derby on jdk1.3, jdk1.4, or jdk1.5 if you do not want to use
> experimental, early-draft JDBC4 interfaces.
