So these days the 'complementary' stands more for the different audiences the projects cater to: FSF to those wanting a free software implementation to run free software, ASF to those wanting to build their proprietary, certified Java(TM) products off an open source implementation.

Except that Classpath comes with a GPL exception that permits it to be used for proprietary products. Sigh.
