If I understand this patents then this are related to every VM. Does Microsoft has license this patents for .NET? Has the MONO project licence this patents? Currently I see only to see the result of the Oracle / Google conflict. I tink the most of this patents are prior art. Other can be trivial. If Google has removed the patents mines then Harmony can be continue. Another option can be to develop Harmony in Europa. This are US patents which are not valid in the remainder of the world. The european patents right does not accept such trivial patents. If the patent expired in some years then a very stable Harmony can also used also in the USA. Volker
