It's quite possible that it's simply a fact that Sun has better lawyers then Redhat! All in all it's fantastic news that a patent troll bit the dust, at least on this patent. Good job Sun!

Here comes Theo in three ... two ... one ... Posted Jul 14, 2008 15:24 UTC (Mon) by southey (subscriber, #9466) [Link] The big difference here was that it was Red Hat being sued not Sun. Also, Sun was most likely also being proactive to avoid a potential lawsuit against themselves. Perhaps too much Groklaw, but the settlement was probably the best option to Red Hat than a longer lawsuit that may have occurred if Red Hat actually challenged the patent. This news is also most likely a factor in the resolution of the Red Hat suit.
