If you want to claim J2EE compatibility. Which we don't. However, the J2EE
platform is clearly defined and available to anyone who surfs to Sun's
website. I don't see how the GPL would require us to provide a
compatible implementations of the Sun J2EE platform.  We're linking
against the platform which GPL does allow, but we don't intend to provide 
a J2EE compatible implementation.

I see these as two separate issues altogether. If you write EJB's, you
link against the platform. You don't have to be a J2EE licensee to do
that.
