Folks,

2 - Do the IPR terms chosen by the SCA TCs in OASIS make upcoming OSASIS
specifications suitable for implementation by Tuscany when they appear? I
guess we need to get the view from legal@ on this.
Are these public yet?

OASIS IPR terms in general are completely public.
The OASIS SCA TCs in general work using the "RF on Limited Terms" mode
of the OASIS IPR policy:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/sca-assembly/ipr.php
...says this for the SCA Assembly TC, the other TCs have equivalents.
The detail of what "RF on Limited Terms" means can be found here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.php
...in particular look at section 10.2.
In effect, these OASIS terms are the closest ones to the Royalty Free
terms that Open SOA used for the SCA 1.0 specifications.
I doubt whether these liberal terms are likely to cause problems for
Apache projects. Other OASIS specs are in common use and follow similar
forms of licensing.
I hope that this helps and can put to bed any further concerns about the
specifications and their license terms.
Yours, Mike.
