Where are you coming from? You have no idea what you're talking about, or else, you're talking about a different case. If we're talking about SunOracle suing Google over java and davlik, then absolutely, saying it's about GPL means you have no clue. http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20100815110101756 Read it. There is no GPL anywhere. Not in java or davlik. And the case isn't about copyright. The lawsuit is about patents. Patents which describe the core functionality of java. The lawsuit is: Regardless of what license you use or how you coded it, you cannot reimplement or reverse engineer java. Even though google reinvented java in a "clean room," and is therefore relatively clean from a copyright perspective, the fact remains, they reinvented java. And sun has patents to protect themselves against such a thing. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
