As Alexey wrote, the level of CORBA support in the RI 5.0 [1] is
predominantly 2.3.1 based. However, we are free to implement a later
version of the Corba spec and still be compliant since the CORBA
code is
an "endorsed standard" (see [2]).
Thanks, Tim, for finding this.
From the other hand Java 5 SE API docs has a license [1] which says
the following:
Sun also grants you a perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide, fully
paid-up, royalty free, limited license (without the right to
sublicense) under any applicable copyrights or patent rights it may
have in the Specification to create and/or distribute an Independent
Implementation of the Specification that: (i) fully implements the
Spec(s) including all its required interfaces and functionality
That's not in conflict, as the spec gives us this ability to
substitute in this case. IOW, we still fully implement the spec.
Buy anyway I agree that we can wait till we got TCK.
