There's a period between those sentences. The "In 2012..." is related to "...a judge ruled that APIs can't be copyrighted at all".
I don't know when Oracle bought Sun (didn't look it up), but this is not what the sentence(s) is(are) implying.
- taspeotis 10y agoThe relevant sentences are: The lawsuit began when Oracle sued Google in 2010 over its use of 37 Java APIs, which Oracle acquired when it bought Sun Microsystems. In 2012, a judge ruled that APIs can't be copyrighted at all, but an appeals court disagreed. Not sure what confusion could arise from this.
- stuartleigh 10y agoIf you miss the period it reads as "... which Oracle acquired when it bought Sun Microsystems in 2012," which I guess would be confusing.
