You'd better document yourself before spitting non-sense. Most of the crap Oracle was claiming has been already proved invalid, or not applicable. Google in a sense has already won.

Yes, but what remains is that Oracle is claiming that they control the library API and anything that closely resembles the API, not just their implementation of it.

If they actually do control any use of the API calls, they own every program ever written in JAVA.

Spitting nonsense? Just see how long the enterprise puts up with the "Our business plan is to sue our customers" and see how that worked out for SCO and Sonny.

This wont be over, with Ellison's ego till it is heard, en blanc, by the Supreem Court. I know, they should withdraw and slink away but they have also wrecked the JCP and alienated Apache.
