Would this also apply to projects like OpenJDK, that are alternative JVM implementations? If so, why did Oracle never go after them?

- punctilio 10y agoOpenJDK isn't a good example, as Oracle owns copyright on it.
- valleyer 10y agoOpenJDK is code released by Sun. Better analogies would be Harmony (what Android used) or GNU Classpath. They did not go after those, one presumes, because those projects don't have billions of dollars to be sued for.
