Definitely.

We discussed the potential issues that might arise from this at our
meeting at JSFSummit - we agreed it's worth fighting for, but
acknowledge that there may come a time where we have (misguided ;) legal

community, which benefits SUN, so lets try it and see what happens." 

Ed, please correct me if I've mis-spoken.
