How 'bout some GPL'd Java code for *your* operating system? "Oracle Corp. filed a lawsuit against Google Inc. on Thursday, alleging that the Internet search giant has infringed on intellectual property related to the Java software that Oracle acquired when it purchased Sun Microsystems Inc." http://www.marketwatch.com/story/oracle-sues-google-for-patent-infringement-2010-08-12?reflink=MW_news_stmp Didn't Sun Microsystems release Java under the GPL? http://www.fsf.org/news/fsf-welcomes-gpl-java.html Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! The GPL will relieve the world of evil software patents. Sincerely, RJack :)
