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)?

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.”
