Thursday August 12, 2010 

Oracle finally filed a patent lawsuit against Google. Not a big
surprise. During the integration meetings between Sun and Oracle where
we were being grilled about the patent situation between Sun and Google,
we could see the Oracle lawyer's eyes sparkle. Filing patent suits was
never in Sun's genetic code. Alas.... 

I hope to avoid getting dragged into the fray: they only picked one of
my patents (RE38,104) to sue over. "
