... that rather stinks. The way the Zante article portrays the exchange, it
seems as though Boies was arguing, "We want to ask for infringers
profits... But if you rule that we're not entitled to that, then we'll ask for
statutory damages instead."
Translation: "We're that unsure of our case and of how you will rule on
this,
that we want to hedge our bets. The important thing is that you give us
some scrap, some morsel, so that we can convince this big, rich, important
client that we did a good job for him, and so our client can go tell his
shareholders that when he bought sun he really made a good deal."
Which reminds me... Something. I haven't done is go back and look at the
release history of Java either side of Oracle's acquisition of Sun. That may
be relevant in that it goes to Ellison's testimony. He went on record as
stating that Oracle bought Sun to get their hands on Java. So it may be
interesting to see how much they have been able to do with Java since the
purchase. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
