Oh, the OMG is worse. They'll take everyone's submission, staple them all
together, and announce it as a standard. They've gotten a little bit better
in the last few years, but there's still more than a whiff of vendors
pushing through whatever they built as a 'standard'.
It sounds like you would prefer the clause to be dropped entirely.

The JCP is not open and IMHO is not a really well defined standards body
(yet). It is also full of more political mud than you could even start to
believe. Yucky. Why participate in something like that?
OMG and W3C are probably just as bad.
