> Right, but you said "VM vendors". Cyanogen (and the like) is not a vendor.
That's was a separate issue though, pointing out that some of Oracle's claims (the Virtual Machine patents), if court rules in favor of them, would likely tempt Oracle to try and go after Microsoft and everyone else producing a virtual machine. Oracle is not in the consumer business, they have no marked beyond the corporate so they really do have nothing to loose but everything to win here. As anyone who has come into contact with Oracle's licenses will know, they generally excel at milking their cash cows. For all I know, they may be dreaming of licensing Android devices via the same per-core model as they use for their DBMS. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
