I'd think Google has at least half a shot at this one. To put it into
perspective, the period at the end of this final sentence is more quantitatively
important to this work than those 9 lines of code are to the J2SE code base, and
nobody in their right mind would claim copyright infringement on it.[ Reply to This | # ]

It's deja vu all over again, with talented lawyers fending off ankle biting from

I'm beginning to think this lawsuit was just a
battle/negotiation about
databases, Oracle's really money
maker.
An article at Slashdot today 'NSA Mimics
Google
...' would seem to indicate Google could come out
into the BIG database
business, like Terabyte
big, with
their internal product called BigTable.
Maybe Oracle
would have been working on a settlement that
would license BigTable or a
non-compete agreement. If
Oracle had won
their lawsuit, they would have been
in a good position to
get a
settlement, public and private. Low cash
settlement for the
public and with the non-compete agreement
private.
Sort of a 'gentlemen's agreement. Google you stay out of
the
database markets, and we, Oracle will stay out of the
cell
phone market. [ Reply to This | # ]

You can find all those referenced docket number filings on our
Oracle v. Google Timeline page. But I'll make it easy for you:
One
thing that P.J. didn't include (unless I just didn't see it) is Judge Alsup's
decision on the original Rule 50(a) motion. That was covered in this
story. It strikes me as a bit fuzzy, so maybe Google has a chance, but I
doubt it.
Judge Alsup didn't say it was de minimis, but he
downplayed the significance.Oracle has made much of nine lines of
code that crept into both Android and Java. This circumstance is so innocuous
and overblown by Oracle that the actual facts, as found herein by the judge,
will be set forth below for the benefit of the court of appeals.
After explaining the circumstances, he just says that Google
admitted copying the lines and says that he was finished talking about
it.Since the remainder of this order addresses only the issue
concerning structure, sequence and organization, and since rangeCheck has
nothing to do with that issue, rangeCheck will not be mentioned again, but the
reader will please remember that it has been readily conceded that these nine
lines of code found their way into an early version of Android. At
the bottom, he clearly found for Google with respect to SSO, which was part of
the same Rule 50(a) motion (Dkt. No. 984), but didn't specifically say anything
about rangeCheck. That and the "To the extent..." language would seem to imply a
no.To the extent stated herein, Google’s Rule 50 motions
regarding copyrightability are GRANTED (Dkt. Nos. 984, 1007).

The range check code is better described as analogous to a
cliche or idiom,
such as "Once upon a time" or "Please stay
on the line, your call will be
answered shortly".
The difference is that while no significant work would be
able to avoid using the word "the", a work could
easily avoid any given
idiom or cliche - even though any
given use is hardly worth a second thought,
let alone a jury
trial. [ Reply to This | # ]
