Slashdot spreads fud
Authored by: ais523 on Tuesday, May 08 2012 @ 09:53 AM EDT
Quite a few Slashdot commentors were hoping that Oracle would win on the facts
about the SSO, so that Google could win on the law rather than the issue being
moot. Looks like they got most of the first half of their wish; let's hope they
get the second too.

Meanwhile, this feels a bit like a reverse of the SCO vs. Novell trial. SCO
mostly had the law on their side, but the facts were completely against them.
Oracle have a much better position with respect to the facts, but not really
with respect to the law. And you need both the facts and law in place before
your court case will work.

And yes, Slashdot editors hardly check the stories they're publishing nowadays;
mostly they leave reporting on whether the story is true/false/misleading to the
commentors.
