If you know you did wrong, you will very quickly offer a generous settlement
...
If this particular case took place in the UK, it would very much have been in
Google's interest to offer a token "go away and stop bothering us"
settlement.
It would only have taken a letter to the Judge saying "We wish to make a
formal offer of settlement, here's a tenner". And in this case, it would in
the UK have triggered a pretty much AUTOMATIC award of Google's attorney costs
against Oracle.
On the whole, I very much like this system - it is VERY effective at deterring
nuisance lawsuits. On the other hand, it is also pretty effective at detering
"we want justice" type lawsuits :-( (That's "justice" as in
the plaintiff wants answers, not money ...)
Cheers,
