Can't see bad paperwork as a part of a strategy. It would have been conceivable
that they were playing this to lose, in order to severely limit the
applicability of the GPL (Oracle aka Sun licensed Java finally under GPL)
"work as a whole" clauses.
But if their case gets butchered because of technicalities, it is not even
useful as a precedent in either direction any more.
It is just burning money. And as opposed to SCO, Oracle is not going out of
business and does not have a reason for loser-burns-it-all mentality.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

From the reaction in court when Google played this
card, it's pretty clear it's not an Oracle
strategy. It's a failure of due diligence, if
anything. Or there could be some explanation
that we don't currently have. I'm waiting
for the end game to find out. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
