The change makes it broader
Authored by: jbb on Thursday, May 10 2012 @ 06:36 PM EDT
The change broadens the meaning since "a single directive to take some action" includes "a single command executed by the Java interpreter". ISTM broader is better as far as Oracle is concerned.

surprising correction from Oracle
Authored by: Gringo_ on Thursday, May 10 2012 @ 07:22 PM EDT

Google asked for references to Java be removed. In fact, these patents aren't about Java, and for sure it is prejudicial to Google to say they are using "Java patents", because calling them that gives more emphases to Oracle's ownership. (Obviously, if they are using "Java patents", they are infringing without need for further evidence.)

Indeed, the "Hello World" program that was used for testing has no Java in it. See this.

surprising correction from Oracle

I wonder why this introduction to Java wasn't done a lot sooner, for the benefit
of the judge and the jury? At least then they might have had a chance to
understand what the whole thing is about...
