That's exactly what I said. You can't just give it a different name and do a clean-room implementation, because it still likely violates some patents.


And the patents is where the problems lie. Which is the problem with not being able to pass the TCK - no access to the patent pool.

How does the MS CLR get around this issue? Surely their VM is infringing on some of this pool? Do they now licence from Oracle?

If only it WAS this simple... this hypothetical situation would be awesome!
