Never saw this site before ... Federal Circuit Feeds Us Some Humble Pie: Oracle v Google ReversedI think what is missing in the analysis, is that if one hopes to have some chance of interoperability, that it is necessary to keep interfaces the same. This is despite the 'originality' involved in the API construction itself. We have seen this principle before with things like game cartridges.

Cheers, Wol

Cheers, Wol It's like building a house. You can't put the roof on the bottom. Nor can you hang stairs upside down. Common sense requirements begat common sense solutions. Just don't try to tell a lawyer that. Wayne madhatter.ca
