This court case is, with no exaggeration, the most important software industry case in decades, perhaps ever. As the article says, if you're familiar with Android, Google, Chrome, Firefox, Edge (nee Internet Explorer), OS X, Linux, and the Internet, it is no exaggeration to say that every single one of those technologies, products, and companies are in violation of copyright according to this decision.
Oracle is literally trying to destroy innovation in the software industry, and they may just pull it off. Their products, their name, and their employees should be shunned for trying to destroy the single most important economic invention of all time: innovation in the software industry. This is not OK, this is not just politics, and they must be stopped.
Read this article, spread the news, write your congresspeople, donate to the EFF, and cancel your Oracle contracts.
