Re: Microsoft's position has some issues

The names and labels of the software modules are NOT the copyrighted content that the oracle is complaining about. Instead, analysis should be done based on "feature list" of the platforms.

In that case Oracle clearly doesn't have a leg to stand on because the feature list of Java is the feature list of previous platforms. On that basis there must be a score of other businesses that could sue Oracle into the ground, not only over that feature list but also over the feature list of SQL.
