+1 There are essentially 2 big differences between the JavaEE/JakartaEE and the ASF API:
1.) The license. the official APIs are licensed CDDL+GPLv2CPE and now EPL or GPLv2CPE. All of them are either strong or weak copyleft licenses. So you have to at least notify downstream consumers. The ASF version is ALv2, so it is very liberal without any restrictions. 2.) We try to be as OSGi friendly as we can. That's the reason why many OSGi projects use our API instead of the originals. Of course, often the docs in the official APIs are way better than what we have. This is due to that we are not legally allowed to copy the docs 1:1 but have to write it all ourselves with our own words. And that's a crazy amount of work.
