I'm not sure about whether Sun has relevant patents on the JMS APIs.
Howver, there are two things that may have been violated. Firstly, the
license agreement that was "clicked-through" whenever someone looked
I guess you are referring to the license to that allows a person to
hold a copy of the JMS spec. I wonder if violating/terminating the
that license IP taints any work created using Ideas obtain from it.
Since this seems to be in the Idea category... I would have thought
that there would need some patents in place to enforce it.
at the JMS specification. Secondly the JMS copyright. Since, as far as
I can see, NMS is likely to be a "derived work" of JMS it is also
likely that it breaches the copyright of the spec.
I can assure you that no copying has taken place. NMS was initially
not an abstract messaging API. It was just an API to the .NET client
implementation for ActiveMQ. Once that started to take shape an
abstract API that has the same domain model as JMS was extracted from
the implementation. It would be more accurate to say that NMS is a
derived work of an ActiveMQ client.
