if Oracle had its way, no one else could sell database software that
responded to SQL queries and commands, because, you know, they'd be copying what
Oracle's RDBMS does.
If so Oracle themselves would be in trouble for
producing an implementation of an ANSI-defined language. I think they really
know better than that. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It comes down to the old story about how many psychiatrists it takes to change a
light bulb. Obviously, Larry doesn't want to change, and won't even admit that
he is a problem.

So Oracle would be shelling out all their income to either Edgar Codd or IBM.
Oracle also would undoubtedly owe royalties from the large part of Java that is
derived from C/C++.
But if they were the suee rather than the sewer they would be paying for 3 dozen
lawyers to argue against their current position. I've had 4 three year olds, and
I recognise the breed!

I mean.... to treat software - a totally abstract concept - as having a
physical existence:
That's certainly fiction of the highest
degree!

Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Hitler, Elvis. Basically guys who were
surrounded by yes-men, afraid to rock the yacht. Remember, guys like Larry think
they are practicing 'aggressive business methods' or 'competitive business
tactics'. It's not personal, it's just business. Like the old robber barons,
they are moral cannibals.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
