Is this going to be a problem? JBC> Yipes. Good catch. Does anyone know about this one? Are we considering promoting to an OASIS Standard in vain? I have spoken with three other company representatives who have said they would supply the "successful use" statement for version 2.0. I hope to obtain the statements once I am certain they are needed. It is not now certain that they are needed; in fact seems to me more likely than not that 2 members will vote against OASIS process submission and so I will not need them. It is my understanding that no license would be needed for any prototypes. I will remind the 4 companies about the OASIS rule if the motion carries. I am not actually certain what being in compliance with the license means at this point and for all cases, and just asked Karl for some clarification. JSR 157 has contacted IBM for clarification of how a Java API reference implementation (including open source ones) can be released and how products can incorporate that API. The specification co-leads (Hima and Dale) have not heard back from IBM. I assume making contact with them establishes cooperation.
