De facto, if Oracle/Sun refuses to TCK any independent implementation of Java SE, while tolerating their implementation under open source license, then there is ground for anti-trust action.

Considering the dominant position of Oracle/Sun, we can't exclude the possibility that the European Commission will start a new anti-trust investigation against Oracle/Sun.
