Regardless of how you feel about the legal question, if you read the whole thing, it’s interesting to see how much the justices differ with regards to their respective grasps of the technical and business issues.

For example Java SE vs Java Micro Edition, advertising business model vs licensing model, the inherent creativity of designing an API, Apple and Microsoft’s competing products, etc.
