Interestingly, the article includes a quote from a Sun Microsystems co-founder who agrees with Oracle's stance on this:
> Among Oracle’s supporters in the case is Sun co-founder Scott McNealy, who said Java was created to be a platform-neutral system where programmers could “write once, run anywhere.”
> Java “is the foundation upon which our digital world is built,” McNealy said in a filing with the court. “Google stole that foundation, used it to build Android, and destroyed Oracle’s market in the process.”
- AnimalMuppet 9y ago> Java “is the foundation upon which our digital world is built” I think McNealy is taking rather too much credit for Java here. Yes, it's widely used. The foundation? The foundation? Hardly.
