It’s widely believed that Oracle has shot itself in the foot by filing this lawsuit.
Is it really widely believed? And how did Oracle shoot itself in the foot with this lawsuit?
- jaywalker 16y agoHere is what James Gosling had to say about one of the patents Oracle alleged Google infringed: Oracle finally filed a patent lawsuit against Google. Not a big surprise. During the integration meetings between Sun and Oracle where we were being grilled about the patent situation between Sun and Google, we could see the Oracle lawyer’s eyes sparkle. Filing patent suits was never in Sun’s genetic code. Alas…. I hope to avoid getting dragged into the fray: they only picked one of my patents (RE38,104) to sue over. source: http://nighthacks.com/roller/jag/entry/the_shit_finally_hits_the http://nighthacks.com/roller/jag/entry/the_shit_finally_hits...
