Amazon RDS for Oracle Now Supports Transparent Data Encryption and Native Network Encryption
aws.amazon.com
on 04/17/2013
Excerpt: We have good news to share. Many of you have told us that data encryption, at rest and in transit, is very important to you as you move mission-critical database workloads to Amazon RDS. Today, Amazon RDS is announcing support for Oracle’s Transparent Data Encryption and Native Network Encryption in all regions. Both of these features are components of Oracle’s Advanced Security option for the Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition. Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition is available on Amazon RDS for Oracle under the Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) model. There is no additional charge to use these features.... read the full post.

Oracle Sues Patent Troll for Behaving Like Oracle
www.wired.com
on 06/05/2012
Excerpt: Fresh off its failed attempt to prove that Google’s Android operating system infringed on its Java patents, Oracle has sued a small company called Lodsys, complaining that the Texas-based outfit has been harassing its customers with questionable claims of patent infringement. “Lodsys has repeatedly threatened numerous Oracle customers with assertion of the Patents-in-Suit against Oracle’s Web Commerce Products,” Oracle’s suit read (. pdf). “Lodsys is not entitled to any royalties from Oracle or any of its customers, nor does Oracle or any of its customers need a license to the Patents-in-Suit.... read the full post.

Dear Oracle: The Java APIs Are Not a Work of Art
www.wired.com
on 06/04/2012
Excerpt: Oracle said the Java APIs were like a beautiful painting. Google said they were more like a file cabinet. And in the end, Judge William Alsup came closest to agreeing with Google, comparing an API to a library that organizes the Java programming language. “Each package is like a bookshelf in the library,” Alsup wrote with last week’s much-anticipated ruling in the epic legal battle between Google and Oracle. “Each class is like a book on the shelf. Each method is like a how-to-do-it chapter in a book. Go to the right shelf, select the right book, and open it to the chapter that covers the work you need. ”
His ultimate point was that the organization of a library is not subject to copyright.... read the full post.

Alsup is Wrong: APIs Must be Given Copyright Protection
www.theserverside.com
on 06/03/2012
Excerpt: Congratulations to Google for completing the trifecta, coming out victorious on all three key court challenges brought against them by Oracle, and thus making Java more free today than it was at any time in the past. But like so many technical decisions made by a non-technical judiciary and jury pool, Judge Alsup’s conclusion on the final bone of contention is wrong. He was wrong to declare that programming API’s cannot be protected by copyright. An API is more than just a collection of components
Maybe you can't copyright the idea that a programming language needs a String class. Perhaps it's not that creative for an API designer to put a method named rangeCheck into a component named Integer.... read the full post.

No Copyrights on APIs: Judge Defends Interoperability and Innovation | Electronic Frontier Foundation

on 05/31/2012
Excerpt: Innovation for the win: A federal judge ruled today that Java's APIs are not copyrightable. The federal district judge in the widely reported Oracle v.

Judge Alsup's opinion is important news for software developers and entrepreneurs.
To recap: Oracle, the current owner of Java, sued Google for, among other things, using Java APIs in its Android OS. Oracle claimed that Google infringed both its patents and copyrights.... read the full post.

Judge Frees Google's Android From Oracle Copyrights | Wired Enterprise | Wired.com
www.wired.com
on 05/31/2012
Excerpt: The federal judge refereeing the billion-dollar fight between Oracle and Google over the Android operating system has dismissed Oracle’s claim that the Java APIs used by Android are subject to copyright. The APIs are application program interfaces, code that lets one piece of software talk to another. The general assumption has long been that APIs aren’t subject to copyright. But in suing Google over Android, Oracle insisted that they were, and after a six-week trial, the company’s efforts to win serious damages from Google came down to this single point. But on Thursday, Judge William Alsup ruled that Oracle does not have the exclusive rights to the structure, sequence, and organization the 37 Java APIS in question.... read the full post.

Oracle and Google have struck a deal in their ongoing Java dispute which could speed the case along, but with one catch: Oracle has now essentially bet the farm on its claim that Google violated its copyrights in cloning its Java application programming interfaces (APIs). The two companies have been battling it out in a San Francisco courtroom for weeks now, in a complex case that involves patent and copyright claims along with a novel claim by Oracle that its Java APIs — essentially the technical guidelines that allow two pieces of software to talk to each other — are copyrightable.... read the full post.

Excerpt: Brian Pagano is a software architect at Apigee, an outfit that does nothing but help companies build and operate APIs, interfaces that let one piece of software talk to another. In describing the APIs his company deals in, he wants to lend some perspective to another question, a question that may soon be answered by the federal judge overseeing the ongoing legal battle between Google and Oracle: Can you copyright an API? If Judge William Alsup rules that APIs are subject to copyrights, he would overturn common wisdom in programming circles, potentially exposing many companies and developers who have built software platforms that openly mimic existing APIs.
