+1, I think what Craig says here makes sense.  There is no way anybody 
can legally run in production with JDBC4 until Java SE 6 is declared GA.

> IANAL, but I don't think there is a problem. Derby is not an application. The only way you can run Derby that exposes JDBC4 functionality is by running a User Application with Java SE 6. If a User Application runs in this environment, is is subject to the testing and evaluation terms of the license. So there is no need to encumber Derby NOTICEs with this disclaimer.

>> PROBLEM:
>> Derby 10.2 exposes an implementation of an early draft version of the JDBC4 specification.
>> SYMPTOM:
>> This issue only affects you if you are running the Derby network client or embedded server on Java SE 6. This issue does not affect you if you are running Derby on J2SE 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5.
>> When run on Java SE 6, Derby's network client and embedded server expose JDBC implementations which do not conform to an approved, final version of the JDBC specification. Instead, these implementations adhere to an early-draft version of the JDBC4 specification. Please note the following:
>> This is an application written to interoperate  with an early-draft specification developed under the  Java Community Process (JCP) and is made available for  testing and evaluation purposes only. The code is not  compatible with any specification of the JCP.
>> SOLUTION:
>> A follow-on release will expose JDBC4 implementations conforming to the final draft of the JDBC4 specification.
>> WORKAROUND:
>> If you do not want to use experimental, early-draft JDBC4 interfaces, run Derby on J2SE 1.3, 1.4, or 1.5 or on J2ME/CDC/Foundation 1.0.
