Thanks..cant understand why is Google asking for mistrial
instead of waiting for judge to rule on copyright-ablility
of API. Because if he gives mistrial, that verdict will
become useless or not given, right? Then when it starts all
over again, Google may find itself less lucky?
Or is Google hoping that judge will give mistrial AND give
No to copyright-ability and hence making another trial
unnecessary?

Worst case scenario? The case is appealed by Google up the
Supreme Court, which rules in favor of Oracle. Congress then
passes legislation that removes software APIs from being
subject to copywrite, but a clueless and greedy president
vetoes it. Millions of programmers, including me, drop Java
and migrate hundreds of thousands of application to
compilable Javascript. Larry Ellison is lost at sea when a
mast snaps, taking David Boies and the rest of the MoFo crew
with him. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
