Apache was unhappy with the specifications, and stated as much in their "jspa-position" which they give four issues, then sums it up with:
Apache in its reading of the document had believed there had been some progress on these issues. However, Apache recently learned that in Sun's legal opinion none of these (save the first) has changed in status since the currently in-force JSPA.
So I guess Apache defines what is good for OS and what isn't.
Here's the article on slashdot that talks about the Microsoft/Sun settlement. I remember specifically reading about how Microsoft agreed to get out of the Java business.
Unfortunately, the Yahoo! article expired...but I'm sure the details are floating around the net somewhere.
