.. is not necessarily that Boies is shooting for infringers profits (he said he
is not interested in the actual damages portion)
It is the fact that this whole case is basically a shakedown that is
confounding.
It is also that Boies already stated he only wanted statutory damages and that
is how the case has been presented and dealt with.
He has than been allowed to do an about face, Again.
It is not a compilation.
It is a compilation
Oh no wait, it's not a compilation for that bit.
The whole work is everything
The whole work is this extra special subset, ignore the bits we don't want
included.
The whole work is just exactly that one file from tens of thousands.
The whole work is just those 9 lines of code.
It's Java vs android
Its the APIs
It's the software
it's the documents
It's the SSO of the document that you can see in the APIs which is in the source
code which is the documents which is what they copied when they copied what they
copied when they were reading the source code that they didn't look at when they
wrote their own software while reading our book which they didn't copy when they
copied our SSO.
&c

Your post and explanation was fantastic and very clear. I am just amazed,
dismayed and astounded that ANYONE whether Oracle or not could lay claim to
something that is:
1) A code pattern that has existed in the public domain for decades.
2) A code pattern that is difficult to code in any other way - other than (say)
rearranging the order of the 3 x if statements.
3) Something that is clearly so simple that ANYONE could come up with the same
code - whether they had seen Oracle's (or should I say that community's - since
the code is GPL) code or not.
I have total respect for your post - no offence in any way intended.
