I fail to see any positive changes from my perspective. I do see a number of clarifications, such as the note on specifications (which isn't strong enough for a FOSS project) and the restriction of even reviewing patches. In summary, this seems worse, to me, than the original. -- Andrew :-) Support Free Java!
