google/oracle settlement proposal
In the minds of Oracle, they got screwed on the acquisition of Sun, it was a mercy move, and they were the only ones with the cash to save Sun from just going bankrupt, so they bought it and dont have any use for anything in software, except that everyone uses Java, so if Google is going to use Java then yes, they should have to pay, and the terms of the agreement should be for Oracle to acquire the designs of Google's flawless datacenter operations, so Oracle can productize under the Sun brand, and in return Google will get Glassfish and use of Java, or perhaps just the right to utilize Java is necessary to settle this, i'll do Glassfish for Oracle at the right price, but sooner or later people there are going to have to respect me for keeping Glassfish alive this long, all that was me on the way out the door, nothing was gained that i did not start, so try and discredit me and you will lose that battle, only i can run Glassfish, and i know there are people in Oracle who probably know that, as well, so whats the wait, those are the terms: Google gets Java, Oracle gets Datacenter Designs, and i'll take Glassfish, why not, who would be threatened by that?
