It’s be a shame if something were to happen to that nice API implementation of yours

This week, Matt and Coté talk about possible implications of the Google vs. Oracle fight over API stuff. YOU’LL NEVER GUESS WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

    • The Rundown
    • Oracle vs. Google (not the DoD one) - scenarios and implications! If Oracle wins: more charging for using “ideas”/APIs (even data formats?!) in code? If Google wins: less legal control over people using your code (e.g., lessons GPL, etc, powers)?
    • Google will give up direct control of the Knative open-source project.
    • Breaking Up Big Blue
      • IBM to break up 109-year old company to focus on cloud growth
      • IBM plans to spin off infrastructure services as a separate $19B business.
      • @NaomiEide: “Once split, IBM expects the new company to earn $19 billion in annual revenue, with IBM bringing in $59 billion in annual revenue. The new company is expected to have 90,000 employees; In 2019, IBM had more than 350,000 employees worldwide.”
