What is this, kindergarten? I think pj is misleading her
readers because her bias is making her unable to objectively
judge the evidence. For some reason she's decided to take a
pro-Google stance all along. That's OK, and I'm sure many
people support that view, but it doesn't play well when
trying to present and analyze evidence. Explaining such
complicated (and interesting) legal matters requires a kind
of honesty that pj has not been able to muster so far.

And because I've attacked pj's view, I feel obliged to
provide my own, again, as a veteran Java developer. I am not
convinced at all that Google is right in this case, nor am I
convinced that Oracle's in the right. But I do not think
that this case (like most civil court cases of such
magnitude) is about justice, philosophy or beliefs. It is
about business. However, yet again as a software developer,
I think, in contrast to many others, that no matter who wins
in this case software development is going to stay the same.
We developers are going to be just fine. Anyone saying
otherwise is spreading FUD. That's what I think.
