Had Google used a completely different language instead, this market wouldn't exist at all, and Java library authors wouldn't even have the option of choosing to target it.
I don't disagree that Google's handling of the language is bad, but that doesn't mean it should be illegal. Creating a bad legal precedent harms us all.
- pjmlp 7y agoThe same could be argued as defence for J++, but naturally Google gets free pass, because it isn't Microsoft.
- icebraining 7y agoMicrosoft's actions weren't ruled illegal, they had to pay because they broke a contract.
