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

    • 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.
