But really, Schwartz and Sun might have had another enemy in mind.
“Imagine for a moment if Google selected Microsoft Windows,” Schwartz said,
explaining that was the only other option at the time besides an open source
Java implementation.
Thus for Schwartz, the silver lining for him was that at least this way, Google
could be a part of the community.

Schwartz is submarining Oracle's case just a tad faster than he submarined Sun

Schwartz: Android was to Java as Linux was to Unix. We couldn't stop it, no
sense pounding our fists on table, had to embrace it

Oracle resorted to a catty takedown of former Sun CEO Schwartz, which didn't
really work. This is the first time Oracle looks nervous

Although
Schwartz saw the emails for the first time on the
stand, Schwartz remarked that
Rubin “was inflating the right
to implement those APIs and call them Java.”
Basically,
Schwartz thought Rubin was making a big deal out of nothing,
adding
that the TCK was only necessary to call a product
Java.
Um, yes.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

@OpenJonathan
Court pays $45 for testifying. I'm spending it on Über.
Did he get fees from Google also, or is that court fee the
lot? :O

Hmmm.. I wonder what that is about. Does anyone know the
full-story there? Miguel de Icaza seems to be implying that
Schwartz was no friend of Open Source when he was at Sun.And
yet, Schwartz's history (as described in wikipedia) are all
pro-opensource. I am more than a bit confused. Where can I
find insights and background to this tweet-back-and-forth
between the two. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
