I have posed Dan's question to legal-dicuss: Does the AS IS clause of the Apache 2.0 license conflict with the "testing and evaluation purposes only" clause of JDBC4's early-draft disclaimer. For more context, see the discussion in the comments of DERBY-1639.

Geir Magnusson answered "yes", this is a conflict. The following options occur to me:

1) Convince the JDBC4 expert group to accelerate the final draft of the JDBC4 spec.

2) Ship 10.2 without JDBC4 support.

3) Other creative options?

Regards,
