I don't see how as they need access to Suns IP someway and there is no way to 
get a license to do that. Ie can't use spec without being "tainted" and can't 
use any *legal* implementation of spec because all legal implementations are 
not able to grant the right of reimplementation. 

I doubt that would hold up in court but it has held up various opensource 
projects that are actually concerned about legalities (see the GNU Classpath 
archives).

Fun fun fun.
