jfruhlinger writes "Opponents of software patenting have been rather heartened by recent developments in the Oracle-Google lawsuit, which have seemed to indicate that Oracle's patent case is weakening. But now the judge in the case has some sharp questions for Google, given that Google tried to negotiate with Sun over the patents in question before going on to develop Android without them."

    Does a headline that ends in a question mark set off your red flags?
    Can I convince you to buy this bridge I'm selling by hinting at it using a question?
    What if I cobble together a tiny tidbit of info from groklaw with a really inflammatory headline, will slashdot publish it?

    I hope Oracle's lawyers get fired for this case.
