Well, the point is: Apache was right in that try, but _they lose_. My
point is not that one should not oppose to Sun/Oracle policies, but that
one should do in a constructive way. What did ASF get in a few years of
obstructionism with Sun? Nothing. And what do you think they're going to

noise. I agree on insisting on a point, as far as that point can be
still saved. Not when it has been lost and it would be better to focus
energy on something else. If they sued Oracle because of the alleged law
infringement when Sun did not release an unconditioned TCK, I'll back
them. But I don't see the point in making more difficult the release of
Java 7.
