Some Observations on Oracle v. Google (Groklaw)

Groklaw has an article by Mark Webbink (law professor, former Red Hat general counsel). "So if you are going to develop a new implementation of something like the Java run-time environment, you have to not only use a clean room in order to avoid copyright claims, you also have to work around any relevant patents (and this doesn't require a clean room). Suffice it to say that the approach Google has taken has some potential holes in it with respect to patents."
