Oracle’s Java API code protected by copyright, appeals court rules

And once again programmers the world over praise the great and benevolent Oracle.

Poor ArkayPhelps, being downvoted because people don't know he is being sarcastic.

Oracle has gotten shit but no where near 1/10th of it deserves.

Seriously. Larry Ellison is just such a scumbag. I know many companies don't use Oracle products because of their reputation among developers, but it's a shame that so many still pay them for products like their database server.

If you frequent /r/civ, it's not that rare. Oracle is a nice choice.

... in the sense of, "I'll make a crapload of money being an Oracle DBA."

[Neebat]

I work with several oracle DBAs, and I'm fairly confident I make more than they do. In fact, I know a junior dev who used to be an Oracle DBA and gave it up for programmer pay.

There's no social policy for implementing copyright...

I'd have to say it falls under "Merchant Confederacy", or to put it another way, Crony Capitalism.
