| WYDave - Larry Ellison isn't a terribly nice guy. Rich? Yes. Nice? No. Ellison is perhaps one of the most infamous bodily orifices in the Valley.
And he is also good pals with Steve Jobs (birds of a feather?). Which is also possible/probable motivation for the Oracle lawsuit.
Regardless of the motivation behind the lawsuit, it still doesn't change the fact that there are alleged patent infringements. Apple has been accused of the same thing in certain areas of iOS. What it will boil down to, as usual, is who will be the bigger 800 lb gorilla in court. |
