Kim Haase commented on DERBY-1934:
----------------------------------

To Dan: I'm sure that borrowing and paraphrasing a few sentences from the 
javadoc in order to define a term comes under the fair use provision of the 
copyright law. If you look at the licenses at the bottom of, say, 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html, you'll find no restriction 
against quotation; the only concern is with redistribution in full.

To Laura: This is mostly just fine now. Just a few items.  

I don't think the first sentence is needed any more; as Lance said, it's 
somewhat misleading. (In any case it is missing "for" after "support".)

Lance's latest request is to remove the sentence beginning "An alternative to 
the DriverManager facility..." Apparently that's something that should not be 
in the spec.

Other than that, it's fine, I think.
