I don't post many articles. (someone usually beats me to it)

Hope I got it right.

Oracle is the greatest nest of swindlers in all of computerdom. And their corruption is everywhere.

whoa! a judge that actually has a clue about development and doesn’t think it pfm

there could be a small chance for a sane ruling

I’m stunned

This. It's going to be good. A judge that has a clue about the matter before him. Is that even allowed in the USSA?

And he's right. I don't know how many rangecheck() functions that I've cobbled together quickly to stop a program from doing stupid stuff with garbage data.

David Boies - the same attorney who fought so hard for Al Gore and Michael Moore is now in bed with Oracle. I hold for the Defendant

A competent judge is a rare and much appreciated part of this litigation

This is a positive development. The idiot judge during the Microsoft Anti-Trust case (Bill Clinton’s most successful wag the dog maneuver) thought that deleting the internet explorer icon from the desktop was the same as removing it from the windows installation.

Since when can you copyright an API? That was hashed out in Atari vs Accolade about 30 years ago. Copyright covers the expression of an algorithm (the code that implements the interface), not the interface itself.

Otherwise Linus Torvalds could have never published Linux, which was based on published AT&T System V and BSD APIs for Unix.
