I happen to be an Apache Member, and follow this case closely. It is far from childish, as ASF only ask Sun to honor the JSPA (the agreement that all Java Community Process members have to follow) and not have "field of use restrictions" on their specifications. Interestingly, Oracle (among many other Executive Committee members) has supported ASF in the quest for this, but as they resumed control of Java, there has not been a word on the topic, not in either direction... Considering Oracle's recent lawsuit on Google, I doubt that they are now interested in providing the Java specs/tck without the field of use restrictions.
