Stupid question here ... if Oracle came at us with "the Software
Patent crap", is there any "reasonable time" provided to remove it?
We've already shown in the past that that isn't a big hurdle, with the
ARC stuff, so am just curiuos as to how big a thing the Patent stuff
is, or does even that fall under 'temporary setback / inconvience'?
Depends on them. They can request "Injunctive Relief" but they have a
whole bunch of other things they would have to get around... They are
more likely to go after
Command Prompt, Pervasive and most like EnterpriseDB than anybody.
