Structure Selection, and Arrangment
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, April 27 2012 @ 04:45 PM EDT
copyright for databases AIUI
(and software is a literary work that consists of a set of source code literary
works that can be compiled into a program)


but yes I agree they are misusing and abusing the terms used.

How SCO expresses it
Authored by: sk43 on Friday, April 27 2012 @ 05:54 PM EDT
SCO is the master at expressing "nonliteral copying". Here is a
sample.

Darl McBride, July 21, 2003 conference call:
"non-literal copyright of the structure, sequence and organization of UNIX
System V."

SCO Forum 2003:
"Non-literal Transfers - Methods, structures, and sequences"
"Non-literal Transfers - Methods and Concepts"

AutoZone lawsuit:
"... protected expression of code, structure, sequence and/or organization
..."

Opposition to SJ on CC10 [IBM-956]:
"selection, arrangement, and coordination of component elements"

So basically, you have an inventory of possible words, and
you generally pick 3 at a time. It doesn't matter which.

Oracle have not told anyone what SSO is.
Authored by: Ian Al on Saturday, April 28 2012 @ 08:36 AM EDT
They have not given examples of SSO and how Google copied them. They have used
the principle that it is in there, somewhere and Google agrees they have copied
it.

The judge does not know what it is. He is just assuming that what was discussed
in the legal citations must be in the asserted thingy in some technical pocket.

When you don't know what something is you can call it whatever you like. Just
use words you found on a legalweb page. Who can argue against you?

Software Patents: It's the disclosed functions in the patent, stupid!

Structure, Sequence, and Organization vs. Selection and Arrangement
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 04 2012 @ 02:00 AM EDT

Because Groklaw is a paid mouthpiece for Google. It is only a matter of time before they are outed. And is only ironic how they mock FM...
