> Google now has huge swaths of newly-found copyrightable APIs of its own that its sitting on.
is this really useful to Google?
In Oracle vs Google, yes Oracle stands to make some good coin from Google's "theft" of Java APIs.
But how would Google benefit? Which of it's APIs would it use to unleash hell on its competitors?

Yeah, I don't see how Google could pursue something like that without turning a large part of the market off using Google technologies. Doesn't mean they wont try though.

Both-sides that shit, man. Both-sides it as hard as you can. LOL nothing matters.
Note I say *the administration and not any particular candidate. I think both parties could (not to say they necessarily would) use this as mostly a political ploy to appeal to their bases without changing anything too drastic and walk away saying "we tried, blame the other side for the outcome" should they want to.
