Oracle has the lawyers, that could propably resolve most questions, that were raised by ASF legal. Even better, Oracle would be in the position to change the wording of the license if necessary and they are the only ones, that could do it. Oracle is the copyright holder of the whole JDK and associated libraries as contributions to the JDK require an OCA. I'm not a lawyer, so adding my opinion to the issue referenced won't help. For the ecosystem Oracle and the ASF working together would be benefical.
