What the OP quoted implies that ties on question 1.B favor Google. That is
misleading because Google has the burden of proof on 1.B. It also extremely
misleading because it implies the lack of a jury decision on 1.B favors
Google.
If the judge is going to decide the fair-use issue then, of course,
he would have to decide in Oracle's favor in order for Oracle to prevail.
Likewise, he would have to decide in Google's favor in order for Google to
prevail.

I found this comment particularly disgusting. Oracle HAS NO RIGHT to speak for
the Java community. They have in fact attacked the Java community. Their claim
to own the API directly attacks the livelihood of Java developers. If they
succeed in this ridiculous claim Java as a language will be essentially
destroyed and the entire software industry will be thrown into legal chaos. So
no - Oracle doesn't speak "on behalf of" the Java community. Virtually
the entire Java community has been screaming at Oracle continuously to stop this
madness and has been ignored.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
