Ironically though, if Oracle wins on the ability to copyright
APIs, they open themselves up to dozens of lawsuits from
others who's APIs they have used. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The way I see it, it all depends on whether the jury will believe that Sun's CEO
was really not in charge of the company. Also, logically, they have to believe
that what the CEO said and do, did not represent Sun, in order to accept
whatever else Oracle is claiming about Google as far as the copyright violation
is concern. If one were to look at it objectively, it doesn't make any sense.
Since I wasn't in court, I wouldn't know for sure if Oracle managed to give that
impression ;). It could go either way I guess.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I think that the judge is still going to rule separately on whether the SSO of
the APIs are protected by copyright or not. He said that he is telling the jury
to assume that they are protected so that if he later rules that they are not,
and his decision gets overturned on appeal then they won't have to have another
trial, because the jury will have already made their decision based on the
assumption that they are. Plus, if the jury rules that Google did not violate
the copyright of the SSO of the APIs because of fair use or de minimus reasons,
then the judge won't have to make that ruling one way or the other.
I took all of that to mean that he is leaning towards ruling that the SSO of the
APIs not protected by copyright if the jury rules that Google violated Oracle's
copyright on the SSO of the APIs.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

it's paddles that Ellison will find himself wanting, in his shortly coming
Google-given & jury-delivered predicament.
