    Of course, SUN are not alone in this. It's standard practice for comparable manufacturers.

    Old Dog, New Tricks? No Way, Jose.

    A Sure Sign that Oracle and Larry are struggling in the New Virtual Order of Things.

    Big Brother knows, you know.

    How come Larry is getting so horny?

    Seems like Oracle is trying to improve it's bottom line by getting additional cash-flow through the courts.

    if you cant innovate, litigate.

    All oracle can do these days is purchase and sue. Just wait til the backstabbers try to shut down MySQL and Java by taking the whole open source community to court.
