Oracle wasn't trying to make Bad Things happen.
I didn't say they were.
They were seeking damages from a damaging situation, and if bad things had happened... I'd blame the patent trolls and judges that enable them.
The issue at hand is about copyright not patents.
And note that I'm not saying that nothing bad can, or will, ever happen again. I'm just saying that the consequences of this decision coming down the other way would have been Very Bad, which makes the current decision a Very Good Thing in general.
- BoorishBears 6y agoI didn't say you said that. Please read the comment again, slowly. You're saying "I've only seen people say we avoided very bad thing" I'm saying that's simply not the case, plenty of people are attaching some sort of morality to this. Edit: Case in point, the other reply to the comment is now one of those people. And patent trolls and their sympathetic judges are 100% the same people who would have frenzy fed here, many of then (most?) are also copyright trolls in the context of software. In case you didn't know.
