So Oracle's feigned shock that Google relies on what all
these other courts have already ruled when making the same
winning arguments in those cases is a little bit much. Maybe
when you are running out of winning arguments, you stay
silent or yell about something else entirely. And to claim
that Google failed to respond to Oracle's Atari argument is
simply not true.
The FOSSpatents article suffers from the same lack of care
as Oracle's brief, if that is what it is. If it's cynical
propaganda, that, of course, is even worse. But whatever it
is, it's not the whole picture, and it's not a fair picture.
So, let's go through the FOSSpatents article with more care
than it gave Google, and I'll add in the facts you need to
complete the picture more accurately. The article, "Oracle
to appeals court: Google concedes away the entire case under
established copyright principles", is here:

google-concedes.html
But I'll show you the FOSSpatents article, with my comments
and corrections interspersed in purple-colored text so it's
clear who is speaking, with any quotations from briefs in my
sections in blue colored text. I hope you find it helpful,
because there is a lot to add to give you a fuller
understanding of the Oracle brief and to correct some of the
statements in it about Google:
