Hi d&d :wave:

Do you have an opinion about our topic or are you just here for the brownies?

I side with Google because the code that Oracle are trying to defend is ridiculously hard to avoid using unless you want to make inefficient code.

Also you're a cool mod I appreciate your efforts!

Hello Tesseraction!

Are you Team Google or Team Oracle? Also, what is your preferred soft drink?

I prefer Pepsi to Coke but frankly they're both awesome. Still, firey ginger beer and bourbon/dark rum are unbeatable imo.

It's a weird mix. Most of the regulars are pretty friendly, it's mostly the trolls who are assholes and they love to inject themselves everywhere possible.

"You're gunna break it!"

The diff between D&D and BYOB actively cultivates a crop of caremads for science.

BYOB embraces the natural fate of the universe, and finds peace.

Or not.

I like Fluffie's av.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.

Ah. It must have been when I was younger.
I am a rich man named oracle. Being generous, I leave a bunch of tools out for my neighbors to use. Years go by and I'm not as rich as I used to be, but my jerk neighbor Google has built a very nice house with my tools. I feel that part of that house belongs to me because I am a doodyhead.

Let me edit this a bit for you.

I am a rich man named oracle. I bought a bunch of tools from a neighbor who passed away named Sun. Asian guy, I'm assuming. At least he tasted Asian. Might have been Scottish. Anyways, Being generous, I leave a bunch of the tools that already belonged to the community out for my neighbors to use. Years go by and I'm not as rich as I used to be, but my jerk neighbor Google has built a very nice house with the community tools I let sit on my lawn.

Piso Mojado posted:

okay ill start it off.

I don't see how anyone who has any experience with computer programming can argue that re-implementing free to use api's the way google did to develop android is anything but fair use. To me, the whole trial seems pretty cut and dry and considering Oracle is in deep long-term trouble financially due to their core products losing significant market share, they are just changing their business model to a litigation based model instead of trying to compete in the new open source landscape.

This whole debacle just further points out that:
1) we need significant software patent reform because it is a grey landscape and easily exploitable by lawyers (and developers).
2) we desperately need to update the test for what is "fair use".

I invite any d&d person to argue against any of these points because I am genuinely interested in hearing counter-arguments because I acknowledge my own bias and would like to understand the topic more.

So far ITT it seems that at least in this matter oracle is a big dummy head and google is extremely cool and good... well I guess it's officially settled

When I'm feeling mischevious I call Google "Kuukkeli", which is Finnish for Siberian jay.

I thought this was pertinent, because I like mister magpie's avatar very much and felt that while duckie's burn was totally rad, it was also kind of uncalled for, and also I like duckies and magpies in real life and they're both birds like the Siberian jay.

Also, Google is pretty okay for a massive global corporation and Oracle is a p horrible company that's stuck in a rut and instead of developing something new or improving on an old product they try to make money with morally ambiguous court cases.
