>The matter is only pressed when there's no mutually-beneficial agreement to be had, like in Oracle v. Google regarding the Java API; Google wants the right to re-implement the Java API as they see fit, without having to pay royalties, and Oracle wants the right to exact payment from anyone implementing the Java API.
Why would Google need to pay royalties to duplicate the SSO of 37 Java API's that were open sourced in 2008? If you really think companies should have to pay royalties for using the SSO of an API then perhaps we should start with Oracle paying IBM for their use of the SQL API's.
