Oracle are not claiming copyright on the idea of using dots
as folder-separators. In that case DNS would perhaps be next
on their list of people to sue.
How I understand this is that they claim copyright on the
java.* hierarchy, including references (symbolic links in a
UNIX FS). For example how java.io.BufferedInputStream
inherits from java.io.InputStream.
Anyhow, I doubt that OS4000 contained any folder named
'java' with the various sub-folders required to recreate the
Java SSO.
(Disclaimer: Do not misunderstand this that I'm supporting
Oracle in any way. However I believe that this argument is
not valid to counter their claims.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

No - the origins go back to Simula. Designed and implemented from 1962 to 1968.
I first came in contact with it about 1973 with the Simula 68 compiler.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
