The Oracle case is different from all the other ones, because it involves Android itself as opposed to the mobile phone in its entirety. If Google loses at trial and Oracle is able to extract higher licensing fees in lieu of an injunction, that’s not good for the long term health of Android either.

Oracle bought Sun Microsystems for $5.6 Billion in a desperate attempt at thinking they could sue Android with that. Larry Ellison is the desperate one.

So let me get this straight: Google should roll over to what is essentially patent terrorism? How’s that going to play out in the long term?

I am gonna have to agree with you fjose1929. Not sure if you are dissing Android or not but I have to agree, Ellison seems to be an all or nothing sort of person. I don’t think he wants what he feels is owed. I think he wants everything. Greed is the underlying factor methinks.

Ellison will only agree to licensing if the pseudo-java droid brand is buried and java is used as a brand for the OS.
