It was just a metaphor, sorry if you didn't understand that.

Those bastards! How dare they!
Yep, they did. They also did violate Sun's patents.

While I don't agree with the existence of software patents at all (there are fortunately no software patents in the EU), but in those unfortunate countries where there are, this is quite legal.

Also, I'm missing an antitrust lawsuit against Google. If they could make one against Microsoft some years ago, they should do it with Google, too.
