Doesn't mean anyone has to agree with you.

Or that you're right...

:-)

I personally think that third question is a bit vague. But it's what Google agreed to.

He's doing the best job he can with it. I think the only major fumble so far
was going ahead with a jury trial before the big "is the SSO of an API
copyrightable at all?" question was answered. But hindsight is 20/20, and
when he made that decision, there was reason to think things might work out
better that way.

The "current mess" only became apparent to me when we read the full
jury instructions and the jury didn't reach a verdict within the first day.
Until then, I thought Judge Alsup's approach might work out just fine. (And it
still might... we don't yet know.)
