You didn't think that page was the Java API Specification, did you? That's just
a single html document. The licence is another html document. The licence is
meaningless in the context of this page. It would have to list, specifically,
every html page comprising the Specification.
There is not a single API in that document for a programmer to use. Neither is
their a single API package for a programmer to use.
There is no protectable SSO: it's just an alphabetical list of names that only
have meaning if you know the abstract ideas behind them.
The copyright covers just the protectable creative expression fixated in that
page.
Oh, and that was, of course, the copyright *marking* for the html document and
is not amenable to copyright registration as a compilation at the USPTO.
Do the copyright markings on other html pages correctly identify the authors who
contributed to the JCP or have Oracle illegally deleted their copyright
markings.
Which leaves one last question. Is this recent Oracle document the one that
Harmony copied the API SSO from, or was that creative expression fixated in an
entirely different document or series of documents?
