Larry Ellison wasn't really known for being stupid previously, was he? So what

I should think that Oracle's victory over SAP for US$1,300,000,000 dollars, for
which BSF deserved the most credit, was a strong motivating factor.
(That amount has been ranked easily among the largest 100 jury verdicts ever,
and possibly the largest amount ever awarded in a copyright infringement case.)
