http://www.itworld.com/open-source/117301/scoracle-weaponizes-javaThis is bullshit. I'm taking a programming class with Java and now I see that I can't even use the language, now, unless I want to join this piece of shit company, seeing as they can just patent whatever they want and then sue all the other companies. This should be illegal. The company should be brought down.

Or we could just make patent laws better and not allow patent trolling on anything.
Pretty much how I feel. This should've been squashed a long time ago. I know what Retep's thinking, but realistically, the universities have just lost the ability to teach J2ME, quite possibly. I'm anxious that they'll get their hands on other things, next, like the actual language. No university will stick to teaching an outdated version of Java, regardless of whether it's GPL'd or not. It will side with what Oracle throws out, and my bets are off regarding their support for Free Software; few people take it as seriously as it should be. Perhaps I'm spouting too much too early, but I'm worried as shit about what's going to happen to Java now that Oracle's so plainly announced what an evil company it's become. Its lawyers were ecstatic about being able to use patents against Google? What kind of business plan is that shit?! Since when did making money become all about suing and scaring other companies? How is this competition? How is it supposed to be positive economic activity that can shelter growth? Now, reading that Ars Technica article, it's my guess that Oracle is going to end up forcing Google to GPLv3/GPLv2 the Dalvik VM, since OpenDJK is GPLv2'd and they could possibly upgrade by integrating it. I think it'd be a great way for Oracle to fail. Still, Google's a tad on its high horse claiming that Oracle's baseless, wouldn't you say? Even if they are, it's not up to either party to decide. But yeah, MeeGo. :\
