<quote>Look at what Apple had to do for the iPhone -- tons and tons of
work going all
the way back to technologies developed at NeXT. Google took a short cut by
leveraging all the Oracle (Sun) work but decided to take it rather than license
it and hope they could get away with it. They might.</quote>
What Oracle took was Harmony, and they took it in compliance with the license of
Harmony. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The problem with your hypothesis is that almost all modern computer languages
borrow from each other. Take the case of Perls extended regular expression
syntax. It became so popular that the PCRE library was written to allow you to
use the power of this new syntax with out having to use Perl itself.
Under Oracle’s interpretation of copyright the this would be illegal.
