Yes, well you couldn't get the Java(TM) seal of approval but there is nothing saying you couldn't make your own "seal of approval". Fork Java, create your own Test Compatibility Kit, and start approving implementations. Done.

That wouldn't help against Oracles patents, which they are seemingly happy to use.
