This escamotage written down and deposited in the Supreme Court as agreement between the two parties allows everyone to do the same of Google about Oracle's API. Thus Oracle surrendered not because Google leveraged the fair use but because of Microsoft pressure. Google: I can include the header, thus I can use the API Oracle: no you cannot. Microsoft: Oracle DB cannot run without an operative system, do you agree? me: ROTFL Best regards, R-
