You cannot determine the value of X given Y, period. Note also that plenty of other places in the world have software patents of sorts too and their Y is way lower than the US as well. So, what does that mean?
You and I know perfectly well that if Google was not Google but TinyOneManShow, inc, they'd have been snowplowed under by Oracle legal ace crack team inc, about 7 days into the procedure. The biggest defense TinyOneManShow has is that its not worth the cost to Oracle to do it without a greater scheme in mind, and hopefully they understand that pulling such a stunt reduces the allure of working for you. The exact same principle applies for stealing ideas. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
