Exactly this. Oracle is nothing but a common patent troll here.
They bought SUN for one and only one purpose..... to sue Google.
I know someone involved in the preliminary investigations into this.
It is not a secret at all. It would be awesome if Google would take
the Cloudflare approach and try to crowdsource prior art for all of
Oracle's patents. (Best case, 1M software patents go away on all sides)
Hopefully as things continue to the cloud with private options
and their loss of the JEDI contract puts them right out of business.
- pacala 7y agoGoogle had the option to buy SUN, too.
- dudus 7y agoWhy would they buy it if they weren't interested in the prospect of suing other people with it? In hindsight it would be a great defensive buy,but there's no way they could foresee this shit storm caused by this absurd lawsuit.
