Ah, I'm thinking along the lines of a layman sitting in the jury box, not as a software engineer. Presentation of potentially self-incriminating emails that clearly called out the need to license Java and the desire to cleanup the 'J word' work differently on the average person, compared to arguing about how ludicrous the expectation to not clone API is in the real world. Maybe I should have used evidence instead of arguments though - thanks for that.
I think there's enough merit in both sides' arguments, at least enough to make me unsure about which way the decision will go. It's sad that lawyers/judges and non-technical folks will decide, but maybe that is the fairest way to deal with such things?
