Apache resigns from the Java Community Process executive committee

Again, we aren't comparing the same things. I don't think disassembling and patent infringement is comparable at all. If Oracle wins a patent lawsuit against Google directly on Harmony code and there isn't any workaround, then it becomes a problem. Until then, it is just a patent lawsuit and we have many of them floating around. At the present situation, Harmony is free software by any reasonable logic.

Yes, the details of GPL licensing can affect different parties in different ways but if so many different vendors and consumers haven't raised such a problem, I don't see why I need to worry about it. It is just hot air. If we are going to listen to random lawyers, there was one claiming that BSD is incompatible with GPL license and many many more weird postulations. If you can find some prominent vendor's legal department or folks like Eben Moglen say it, then I will start paying more attention.
