If Oracle wins the appeal then the world is facing a
software armageddon - one where the world is ruled by the
dark forces of absurdity where use of simple names,
comments and class inheritance tree structure notation for
the purposes of reference is verboten, not to mention the
most basic structure of object orientated languages in terms
of name scope operators, object members, and inheritance
aspects of the languages.
Imagine a world where you could not use the phrase "The Lord
of the Rings" or short quotes from the book as references,
or refer to a chapter in the book by name in a review of the
book or a critique in a news article, because such use is
deemed to be a breach of copyright. That is the mad new
world Oracle's lawyers are attempting to usher in by trying
to make this completely novel re-interpretation of copyright
law.

In this "weird" case ...
How many APIs from other people do Oracle´s systems use to operate?
I think that even Oracle will be in deep trouble. Or not?

I really think that this is all Ellison at this point. He can't stand the
thought of "losing", so he's willing to burn down everything
(including his own business) to "win" the suit.
