I think Judge Alsup's ruling has kind of established the
exact opposite. There's much more leverage to push back with
now.

Of course in the EU it's even clearer since software patents
and API copyrights are conclusively NOT VALID here.

With this ruling established and documented, Oracle loses grounds to file
further suits. If they do try this again, the defendants can use this as a
defense and grounds for countersuits.

A big black smudge for Oracle
Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, June 02 2012 @ 03:43 AM EDT
As a software developer, Oracle has shown their true colors, and just how
dangerous it is to deal with them. They're not the only game in town, and I'll
be damned if I take a risk with Oracle rather than take any alternate route
offered.

I've only got 15 more projects to port from Java to C++ & Lua. It's really
not that difficult since Java has a C like syntax.
