All those questions posed by the jury (well, the foreperson) to the judge over
some very precise definitions and interpretations were, IMNSHO, the key to the
whole story.
IANAL, I'm a retired software QC engineer who loved to dabble with Linux, and
it just seems to me that the patterns of questions, responses and the ultimate
decisions have actually improved the landscape for FOSS and programming in
general.
I just hope that Oracle "gets it" now... If I were one of their large
corporate database customers, I would have been worried as hell that Oracle
would've come after my in-house applications and declared that "all your
code are belong to us"... After watching this trial here on Groklaw, it
wouldn't have surprised me at all.
I think Ellison needs to apologize to Google, as well as the Oracle BOD and
their stockholders, write Google a big check for their legal fees (out of his
personal fortune), and then resign. This sort of corporate misbehavior
should not be tolerated in today's society by anyone.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
