Legal Analysis of Oracle v. Google 206
snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Martin Heller provides an in-depth analysis of Oracle's legal argument against Google, a suit that includes seven alleged counts of software process patent infringement and one count of copyright infringement. 'Oracle's desired relief is drastic: not just permanent injunctions, but destruction of all copies that violate copyright (thus, wiping all Android devices), plus triple damages and legal costs. Also, it demands a jury trial,' Heller writes, and while this amounts mainly to saber-rattling, the Supreme Court's recent Bilski ruling did not completely invalidate software process patents despite their shaky ground due to prior art."

How can I vote this article down? It's so insipid and lacks anything new I wonder why it was approved in the first place.
Groklaw did publish something useful and interesting, this piece of opinion is nothing new.

hooker logo would be more appropriate, oracle invited everyone to bed then demanded pay after.
