The license I get to by following the URL above states (amongst other

IANAL but that doesn't appear to give us rights to implement the spec
via that source? What am I missing?
I wasn't sure about that either (which is why I posted the URL).
However, I can't find any other specification for the pack200 other
than this one -- and the JavaDoc for Pack200 pointed me in this
direction in the first place:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/jar/Pack200.html
"Transforms a JAR file to or from a packed stream in Pack200 format.
Please refer to Network Trasfer Format JSR 200 Specification at
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/review/jsr200/index.html";
Does this mean that we can't implement Pack200 by this specification,
and if so, does that prevent a complete Java 1.5 library from being
built? Or does it mean that I can't implement it from this
specification, but I can discuss how to build a pack200 compliant
algorithm for others to work from?
See my other note. It's fine - we can build an implementation.
