JDN,

If there was any confusion about who said what to whom, and
what they MEANT by saying it, there can be absolutely no
confusion about the one feature of their contract that is
abundantly clear: SUNW requires every Java licensee to pass
a series of compatibility tests. You can modify all kinds
of things & change the language to your hearts content, but
you MUST pass their quals. Otherwise, you can't release the
product without an IP violation. Period.

This is standard operating procedure across the industry. MSFT
failed the tests, so they have to fix their code & resubmit it
just like everyone else. What makes them think that they don't
have to pass the certification tests, anyway??
