The specs should be
licensed in a way that is compatible with the requirements of
standards
bodies such as ISO, ANSI, ECMA, even if Sun doesn't intend to head
that way
just yet.
Keep in mind that Sun doesn't get to decide this any more, it's up to
the JCP, and there are plenty of voices other than Sun who would
likely oppose this. While I sympathise, open sourcing Sun's Java
implementations has nothing to do with the JCP and is made possible
by the JCPA 2.5 and later.
