I'm looking at the license for the JDK 1.3 documentation. (Click to download 
the HTML docs to see it)

I'm wondering about the "subsetting" and "supersetting" clauses, what does that 
imply for classpath?

Also what about vi), do we have to satisfy their testing requirements 6 months 
before a release?
