Yes that's right. Here is why:
There had been some discussion on the mailinglist if a OJB based JDO
implementation is really possible.

To give a motivating impetus I suggested to build a quick-and-dirty
proof-of-concept prototype that reuses parts of the RI.

The leading idea is:
Use the RI facade and replace the FOStore StoreManager implementation by
a OjbStoreManager implementation.

Once we have something coded that's worth publishing I will contact the

JDO team and talk with them about the legal aspects.


The RI based implementation is meant only as a first step prototype.
As you can see from my initial jdo-proposal.html we aim at a clean-room
JDO implementation that shares as much as possible with the ODMG
implementation.
