A jury looked at the evidence, heard the arguments, and disagreed with you. The decision held on appeal.

An alternative interpretation of historical events: had Sun (and Oracle) provided Apache Harmony with the JCK from then, Harmony wouldn't have fallen behind.


Winning court cases doesn't necessarily mean justice was actually made.

It is all about who has the best lawyers that are able to influence the jury to achieve the goals of their clients.

The amount of US mistrials is a good example of it.
