[ale] Oracle v Google

[Craig Button]

It all sounds like something out of a bag scifi movie, you know the kind
about corporations taking over the world, and battles are fought over
patents and such.

I was very happy when I saw that Groklaw was taking it up.  I've been
following the various SCO suits since the beginning, but those suits remind
me at this point of nothing so much as a particularly inept zombie, which
struggles to its knees only to be knocked on its face by some random
passerby.  There's not a lot of danger to Linux or the computer technology
world left from SCO.

Oracle v Google could have a big impact, though, particularly if other large
companies get into a patent trolling war.
