Those who can't roll, can always become a patent troll. Oracle perhaps
you should start to innovate instead, you haven't replaced all
engineers with lawyers right?
150%... wow. Google can't agree of course; I think Oracle it's just
anteing up. In any case, that's world. And as the article says:
"Interestingly, Google itself admits that it could have done a license
deal with Sun (apparently before it was acquired by Oracle) but
/rejected/ its terms. That refusal could now prove one of the worst
mistakes in Google's 13-year history as a company."
During the last years of Sun's life, Google played bully with the
going-to-die mate. When Sun was going to be sold, Google could buy Sun
on its own and it would have saved tons of money and troubles. I think
that Google has just been too much presumptuous and now it's paying for
that.
Given that, I hope for a reasonable agreement and I'm disappointed that
Oracle is only playing on the monetary field - I hoped for a settlement
that included a form of technological partnership.
