Google Calls Oracle Patent Suit Baseless And An Attack On The Java Community
- protomyth 16y agoIs this really an "attack open-source Java community"? Google doesn't use the JVM and none of this seems aimed at OpenJDK. It just seems the reasoning is really weak and can be countered with Google isn't supporting the JVM with Android.
- nanairo 16y agoI don't like Google's current modus operandi. It's not the first time that they seem to do whatever they feel like, and when eventually someone sues them they start: "But the Internet is open! Think of the open Internet", or "You are killing the open java community" (paraphrased, of course). Apart from using the word open in every other sentence, I don't see how that's an excuse: if you are doing something illegal then don't do it. Don't bring the "kids" (i.e. the community) in the battle.
