Tom is absolutely right, the situation is questionable at best,
so we have to take the safe course of action and now not accept

It's unfortunate, but really there is no other reasonable course
of action at this point, sorry :-/
Whilst I understand your reaction on this one I believe that you are
being rather harsh on both Mark and Sun.
Would it not be wiser to clarify the conditions under which Sun have
generously released this information as a reference resource and ask for
clarification if necessary.
Sun are making great efforts to open up their code and it seems rather
churlish to imply possible bad faith where none has been shown to exist.
There can be no harm in asking for clarification and/or permission to
use this material.
