"Good Guys" Hypocrisy
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, June 04 2012 @ 11:13 PM EDT

"Filing this suit is in Oracle's interest. "

Of course filing this case was in Oracle's interest -- if
they didn't they might libel for "billions of dollars" in
damages -- hey haven't I already heard that twice
before??? Oh yeah: SCO (the zombie that refuses to
die) and why ORACLE itself!!! The dreams of billions of
dollars once they win a case against someone with deep
pockets. So why deny the little guy (Lodsys) their dream
of billions of dollars flowing into their pockets once they
beat Oracle about their head and shoulders. SIGH!!!
GREED has no bounds and is what connects SCO,
Lodsys, and Oracle. I agree: Software Patents Must DIE!!!

<p>According to the complaint itself, Oracle seems to have a
clause in their contract (EULA) with its paying customers
(the ones sued by Lodsys) to pay up if Lodsys wins. (This is
called an "indemnification clause").</p>
