The question was posed in one of the cases we looked at

Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, November 25 2012 @ 10:49 AM EST

The usual argument is that copyright does not protect a
small company when a big company decides to duplicate
functionality and distribute for free. In cases where first
mover advantage is not decisive, this does result in a
significant disincentive to develop products.

You have confused me --- how did I miss Oracle suing Novell and who was the
judge, and in which court?

Why hasn't PJ been following this case more closely?

Could it be that you have confused Novell with Google and their Android java
SSO?
