I don't take this. Apache, like FSF, is the inventor and promoter of a
licensing scheme that implies legal protection. Thus, I assume that
they are perfectly equipped for lawsuits (and since the question arose
from the old Sun times, they could sue Sun in a moment of weakness).
You seem not to understand what is a Software Foundation, such as FSF or
ASF. It's a bunch of people that, beyond producing code, also design
licenses and promotes them. Ok? Now, designing a license is a matter of
lawyers, not engineers. Any software foundation that proposed a license
model and wasn't able to defend it in court would be just laughable. FSF
and ASF are not.
