Those spec implementations are from the Geronimo specs project
(https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/) and utilize the
Apache License 2.0. As Gary pointed out, the javax.management spec
classes come from the geronimo-j2ee-management impl here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/trunk/geronimo-j2ee-managem=
ent_1.1_spec/

And the javax.jms spec classes come from the geronimo-jms impl here:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/specs/trunk/geronimo-jms_1.1_spec=
/

See the LICENSE files for each project in the SVN repo URLs above.

The spec classes appear to be part of the J2EE platform because
they're interfaces for J2EE/Java EE specs which  were implemented by
the Geronimo team and are licensed using the Apache License. All of
which is 100% legal.
