Well, JSR-310 is implemented here [1], and it is licensed under GPL2 license. 
As far as I remember, in that case Google reproduced some internal Java API, so 
this seems to be a different thing. BTW, one of the implementors of JSR-310 
suggested [3] looking into an older implementation which is now a backport of 
JSR-310 to JavaSE 7 [2]. It is licensed under BSD license, which is even more 
permissive.

Also because Rust is a different language with completely different idioms and 
approaches to API design, I think we’ll have no problems in this regard - the 
actual API is going to be quite different from the original JSR-310.
