We have tried to make sure the license meets the reasonable needs of developers who want to evaluate the JCK sources: It's available at zero cost, through a click-through license; There is no "tainting". Once you delete your copy of the JCK, you aren't constrained in your future actions. To try to make this really clear, we included a section explicitly granting what the lawyers call "residual rights", which basically means that stuff that sticks in your head is OK to use in the future; You can publish feedback and comments publicly.
