If you look at it from the patent licensing angle, wouldn't there be a bigger
chance of Kaffe, GCJ, SableVM and JamVM violating Sun's patents than Dalvik
(okay maybe not GCJ :p)?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I was really impressed with the selection of articles
about the trial
presented to me under news picks. The
article by Ken Fox was an excellent
explanation of the
situation re: the API, one of the best I have seen in spite
of all the talented thoughts about the API Groklaw
commenters have
rendered.
I especially enjoyed "Oracle vs. Google: Dead lawsuit
walking". I noted the comments to that were all from shills.
This trial has
attracted two kinds of shills: Patent
attorneys who lick their chops at the
thought of the
windfall that would come for them once it is decided that
APIs
can be copyrighted, and the "Google is Evil" shills who
take their cue from
Microsoft. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If you cover intellectual property law issues for years, as I
had, you knew that while Müller started as an anti-patent activist, in recent
years hes been an analyst for hire for Microsoft and Oracle. Essentially, he’s a
lobbyist for Oracle. Never-the-less, many reports used his
pro-Oracle/anti-Google takes as facts in their news
stories.
Ouch!

Maybe unrelated, but maybe related (in some kind of end game
way, that would require digging down some rabbit holes to
figure out)?
MS has a ton of patents on DRM (spent a lot of money buying
companies that had such IP in the years past).
Can privacy mean self use of encryption at all, where the
customer basically builds a DRM wall around their data? If
so, then who is in a good place to sell this, and license
such tech (or sue) over it?
Any path toward protection of copyright materials (self
owned in a cloud materials of everyone is copyrighted
materials, unless in a creative commons license, and that is
copyrighted too), yet, if encrypted, they might think that
they are holding the cards, and so, the question is this -
when they talk to those in Washington, what do they tell
them is the best thing to do?
