Does anyone know more about Google paying this lawyer?
Authored by: Neeld on Monday, August 20 2012 @ 10:44 PM EDT
Just trying to know the whole story.

Editor's note: Before publishing this article. we asked a representative for the author whether the author had ever had a commercial relationship with Google, paid or unpaid. The representative said no. It turns out that was untrue. The author, in fact, has been paid by Google to write pro- Google white papers. Had we known of that fact, we would never have published this piece. We apologize to our readers.

Which is an Aug 5 article recently updated to include editor's note:

"Before publishing this article. we asked a representative for the author
whether the author had ever had a commercial relationship with Google, paid or
unpaid. The representative said no. It turns out that was untrue. The author,
in fact, has been paid by Google to write pro-Google white papers. Had we known
of that fact, we would never have published this piece. We apologize to our
readers."

The author is David Balto. I didn't see anything related to Google-Oracle by
him though.
