I disagree. It is a conspiracy theory about the implications of the naming conventions currently being used by Sun.

The "argument" between Apache and Sun is hardly well documented. He cites a two year old open letter from Apache to Sun, and then in a follow-up article indulges in a great deal of armchair lawyering.

The cited links to Sun developer blogs don't seem to support the argument being made one jot.

There's an open letter [1], an FAQ [2], several documents on an open mailing list [3] and several updates in the ASF board reports [4].

Okay, so perhaps that's not "well documented" but it's also open and available for public review.
