Oracle's Motion for JMOL, as text -- Oracle Asks to Win Everything It Lost, and More, More, More ~pj
Authored by: darrellb on Monday, June 25 2012 @ 06:45 AM EDT
Oracle simply wants the Court to adopt Oracle's own world-view and then conclude
that Oracle wins.

Reality is rather different than Oracle's world-view.

The REAL mistake here
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, June 25 2012 @ 06:59 AM EDT
Is ORACLE's misunderstanding of Java market positioning and intellectual
property worth. (Also, the differences in the non-US market.)

Oracle can not promote the Java value proposition, but it can easily destroy
it.

The traditional Oracle DB niche relies almost completely on procurement inertia.
It is in, up, OK and we only need to maintain it. If any of these is falsified
leading to product procurement re-evaluation Oracle can only suffer.

They DO NOT understand this. Just as Balmer thinks "Windows" is a
valuable Mark, Ellison, his golfing and sailing partners CANNOT see the IBM
mainframe market re-allignment happening to them. I have been around this
industry a LONG while and my ears resound to CEOs and marketing departments who
went compleatly deaf.

Ken Olsen, CEO DEC, "Unix is snake oil!" ...

MFG, omb

That and also it's easier to get a judge's ruling
overturned compared to a jury's decision. So
this puts a layer on top of the jury decision,
whereby the issue becomes a matter of law, not
fact. Appeals courts can't normally alter a
fact-based matter, only matters of law. So this
fleshes out the record for appeal in Oracle's
favor.

Now we know who Steve Jobs left his Reality Distortion Field
to. Problem is, Larry put it on backward so only he sees the
distorted reality.

Can the judge dismiss the case with prejudice and sanction Oracle for frivolous arguments?

That would be justice.
