Here's hoping the Google lawyers see this!

And get to use this in the next phase of the suit or in the appeal, if it ever
comes up. It is a solid reaffirmation of what Schwartz said... and in fact, adds
a bit more to his testimony. Sun was not even gritting its teeth. It was smiling
and sharing the podium with Apache Harmony.

Your comment has no applicability to the passage you quoted

13 begins: "When discussing use of the SSO in the 37 API packages in Android..." and what you wrote has no applicability to Android. Important to point this out, just so folks don't get confused...

The answer is "yes".

Actually, both.

A lot of JAVA language functionally is the sum of all of all the API's(not
just the 37 in question.) The more advanced API's have many dependencies on
other API's (like the math class). One can't really program in JAVA without
duplicating the naming conventions and functionally supplied by those core
API's.

Basically Oracle is claiming copy rights (and or infringement) for all
programs written in JAVA despite, SUN/Oracle public declarations that the
language is free to use by anybody.

If Oracle prevails with this scam, it's the end of JAVA as we know it.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You can make a standard GU
interface using Swing. That's what Swing was for, to develop a standard GUI
that would run on any OS (Mac, Windows, Unix). That's also why Sun sued
Microsoft, because Microsoft want to add in Windows only code, which would have
broke Java.
