I wish someone was out there to help explain why Oracle is wrong in this issue. Computers are hard and I could use some help. *sets final bernie sanders bumper sticker across spike filled pit in front of thread*

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.

smootches,

i can't seriously debate in a forum that uses comic sans

everything should be debated with comic sans because it helps remind people not to take poo poo so personal.

I think Oracle should Google IBM, but I'm more agnostic about the whole court thing because java is something I'm forced to endure because programmers like it so much.

To make things.

I dont know any programmers that like using Java, they just HAVE to use Java.

Actually, i guess some programmers do like it because they get paid a lot of money since a good java dev is hard to find.

code:


class MyFirstApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Jesus Christ All I wanted to do is print a loving line!");
    }
}
