Could you elaborate???
- bitL 9y agoSomebody speculated that the lawsuit was used by Oracle to establish firm boundaries in what can be considered a copyright infringement, with the intent to implement Amazon/GCE APIs for drop-in compatibility for their cloud offering. So they tried all kinds of ridiculous stuff to see what works/what doesn't in order to properly cover their backs while "stealing" other APIs.

James Gosling interview, at 57:42 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYw3X4RZv6Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYw3X4RZv6Y "unwilling to help us pays the bills", so nice for the Do No Evil company. Oracle does pay for their ANSI/ISO SQL certifications.
