I'm not concerned. IBM has an independent implementation, so copyright is not an issue. Oracle is not about to start a patent war with IBM, so patents are actually less of an issue than they usually are with software. The trademark issue is trivial. I'm not concerned about Oracle's IP.

"I'm not concerned about Oracle's IP." - famous last words.

Oracle owns the trademark to JavaScript now too. We are going to have to call it ECMAScript to be safe.
