Did Oracle violate Sun's copyright before their acquiring Sun?
Authored by: IMANAL_TOO on Tuesday, April 17 2012 @ 05:45 PM EDT
Wow! :)

From the order dated April 16, 2012:

"ORDER GRANTING
ORACLE’S MOTION TO
AUGMENT EXHIBIT LIST

Oracle’s motion to augment its trial exhibits (Dkt. No. 907) is GRANTED. Although it would have been better to have augmented sooner, there is still time to adjust prior to the actual use at trial of these exhibits and Google has shown no prejudice. Both sides will be given some opportunity to adjust the exhibit list. Google will get the same flexibility so long as it acts timely. At some point, however, augmentation of the exhibit list will be terminated with or without prejudice."

How handy that order became.

Gentlemen, take your positions.

http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/1/base/x86_64/libgcj-
src-4.4.5-6.el6.x86_64.rpm

there you go including the source code for alternative implementations of all
the 37 APIs

The GNU Classpath implementation was, and
is, covered by a license from Sun/Oracle
and aims at a complete re-implementation.
That should make at least some difference.
As far as I can tell, this is not nearly as
damning as SCO distributing Linux code that
allegedly infringed on their alleged copyrights.

I see Oracle made some contributions...

I can't answer the question directly. Perhaps some of the "geeks"
can. If you Google the following line you'll see Oracle, at minimum, discussing
GCJ:

site:gcc.gnu.org "oracle.com"
