Well, fairness requires me to point out that
he's gone to some lengths to avoid doing so,
if he can escape having to.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The problem is that people keep flinging around the word API, a 'nym that has
been abused horribly during this trial.
It's not about APIs, it's about copyright infringement.
It's about some books
and some source code
Which happen to be *about* an API
(Which Oracles own expert said was a concept,
how hard it is really going to be for the Judge?)
If the Jury decide it was copied, and if the jury decide it was not fair use
(which means they can *see* the SSO define by 7-10K lines fragmented across 2
Million lines of Source Code). What does that actually mean?
Copyright law already covers that, it's irrelevant what the source code is about
and what an API is.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
