Well they have brought the fact that not every thing was contributed by
Sun/Oracle when they were rehashing timsort. I would expect to see them
hammering away at this repeatedly tomorrow unless there is a bench ruling in the
morning that makes it pointless. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Of the eleven APIs that Oracle removed from their complaint, ten were javax.xml
packages.
So clearly someone on Oracle's legal team thought deeply enough about this
non-ownership of copyright to adjust the infringement complaint.
Ironically this must tie into Oracle's "whoops" moment, of having
copyrighted the "work as a whole" without protection on individual
components since some (actually many) were not authored by Oracle or Sun.
