A recent slap given by Apache to Sun <http://www.apache.org/jcp/sunopenletter.html> implies that the Java Community Process has very open requirements on patent licences granted via the Java Specification Participation Agreement. The ASF thought a lot about patent licensing to produce the Apache Licence 2.0 - most other patent-aware open source licences are sponsored by businesses rather than non-profit foundations.
