Did Google Knowingly Violate Java Patents?

Posted by Soulskill on from the pay-no-attention-to-the-man-behind-the-curtain dept.

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."

    This isn't about groklaw, but nothing shows for the judge asking anything other than telling Oracle to explain where it's magic numbers came from. Oh and potentially google seeking discovery sanctions on oracle but it has not been raised by google. That's about it. If this had actually linked groklaw somewhere, which it didn't. There is no "danger" for google in any form, nor did the judge imply it was plausible that google did anything. Where does TFS or the article make that shit up?

    The only person who filed today was google, not the judge. So where does this shit come from? This article is fud.

    Because as we all know, it's what happens on Pamela Jones's blog, not what happens in court, that matters. I mean, the IT World article has some direct quotes from the letter they are describing, but Pamela Jones didn't say it, and that's what matters.
