It's not as if Oracle didn't know what this jury thinks about
this before deciding to switch the basis for damages. Yet,
somehow, that switch now forms a reason to ditch this jury
and start over with another?
If Oracle hadn't managed to get Judge Alsup to override the
jury on that question and in those terms, there would now be
no opening to even suggest a new jury for the damages stage.

Actually, this could be slanted the opposite way: the jury
may think that being overridden by the judge is a signal that
they should lean more toward's Oracle's side in order to do
the right thing by that judge, who after all instructs them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Probably the jury was thinking that since the seven files weren't directly
copied, that they didn't infringe. If someone had explained to them that
translating into bytecode is a form of copying (much like translating into
French) and translating back from bytecode is also copying (much like
translating back from French), they would have concluded there was infringement.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
