I think the argument is that Google is being predatory with their business, and whining when it doesn't always go their way. They want to be cut throat, destroy other peoples business, but they don't like the blow back. Oh, and they whine about it.

Don't get confused here, Google is as bad as MSFT, that's the point. They even want patents with the same justification as your Oracle quotes. But they're not going around trying to elicit sympathy from people by making blog posts about it.

Make no mistake. Google is a PLAYER in this through and through. They're just spinning everything and trying to pull a PR move about it.

Go out and find me one piece of evidence that Google is actually trying to do something to stop software patents and maybe I can agree that they are doing things differently than the others. But for now their playing the same game as Apple, Oracle, and MSFT. They just appear to be losing for now.
