> Bicks moved on to another e-mail, which he was allowed to put up on the courtroom screens. The message was a note from Andy Rubin to upper management, laying out strategic options for Android. One option was to do a deal with Sun, while a second option to go ahead and use Java without a license, but the company would "make enemies along the way."
If it weren't for the dreaded consequences to the industry, I would love seeing Google losing this. They well deserve with these attitude. But then I remember their enemy is Oracle. Oh my, I will close my eyes and flip a coin...
- lsaferite 10y agoYou think they should lose based on them breaking a law or you would want them to lose because you don't like them? If it's the latter I guess it's a good thing you don't like Oracle a little more. As you pointed out, this case had far ranging consequences for the software industry and any personal opinions of how much you personally like or dislike any company need to be 100% put aside.
- jdright 10y agoI don't need to put nothing aside because I'm not the jury. I don't like Google's attitude and I don't like Oracle's attitude neither. To me both deserve to lose, but how is that possible? No matter what the result of this will be, it will be sad. They are the worse that can happen to software industry.
