I suppose its no surprise that IBM has taken legal action after all mainframes are a license to print money compared to other businesses. However what is the difference between IBM v Hercules and Oracle vs Google. I know different patent portfolios are involved convering many different and unique componets of said "machines" but so many posts ridicule Oracle for attacking Android and yet there has yet to be any sympathy for Hercules. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
