That is not the question. Of course there is creativity in
the
implementation. Nobody is questioning that. The question
is, are class and
method specifications copyrightable?
Well, seems the judge has already
agreed they are not - as
individuals. However, Oracle seems to think when you
add them
all up, suddenly they become copyrightable. It is all a load
of
nonsense, if you ask me. One day the judge is going to
wake up and realize he
has been played like a fish by Oracle,
and he will not be happy. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If you saw the same in assembler language, you would be *quite* happy to just
have the C version.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

"import java.net.Socket;
...
new Socket("domain.name", portNumber);
...
is a lot better than the C way"
"The C way" may be by similar commands using GPLed code.
See www.linuxhowtos.org/C_C++/socket.htm that gives a GPL
program to create a server by "server 51717" and creates
a client by "client cheerios 51717".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
