I still think you're misinterpreting this issue. It don't believe it has anything to do with Oracle legal, or in what circumstances code under those two licenses can be bundled together, but specifically Apache foundation policies on what can and can't be distributed by the foundation - eg. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#criteria. I would hope that policy around "platform dependencies" (eg. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#platform ) will evolve or things are going to get more complicated for us.
