- Looked at the 1st 2 alleged patent infringements http://is.gd/efrnU & http://is.gd/efrnt . The simplicity of the patents make me go eeew. #
- I mean if devs are to be sued for relatively obvious logic which happens to be patent infringing, every dev needs to be a lawyer first. #
- @talios Am unaware of the specifics but I remember there were concerns around some rights Sun had retained then. #NotSureIfRelated in reply to talios #
- This patent infringement suit makes me feel angry. Very angry. At businesses in general n java openness in specific. #patentssuck #

- After the Oracle suit on google we seriously need pair programming. One Programmer One Lawyer. #
- @sallamar I sometimes fear counting the number of patents one might be accidentally infringing is a seriously NP problem
in reply to sallamar # - @igrigorik +1. I favor a balance. A government also needs to have the right tools and the right processes to order an intercept if needed. in reply to igrigorik #

- @codemonkeyism patent protection under harmony is very questionable under the circumstances. in reply to codemonkeyism #
- @igrigorik A bit facetiously, anyways many foreign governments are legally likely to be attempting to read it so why not my government in reply to igrigorik #
- @igrigorik The practical issue is Indian law enforcement resources are nowhere as abundant as say the US. Every small bit helps. in reply to igrigorik #
- @igrigorik Finally in terrorism cases it is US govt which selectively gives India the intercept transcripts. Y cant India intercept herself? in reply to igrigorik #
