They may be against software patents in general (isn't everyone here?), but Florian Mueller from FOSS Patents is actually being paid by both Microsoft and Oracle. You can 100% expect him to be slanted against Google in this case and in general as well.

I love it how Florian Mueller is castigated because he previously got paid for writing some reports for Microsoft, but PJ gets a completely free pass on the sources of her funding.

PJ could easily be just a pseudonym used by a panel IBM/Google lawyers to astroturf for all we know, but even talking about her identity is considered off base and taboo and whoever does that is viciously attacked and vilified.

"PJ could easily be just a pseudonym used by a panel IBM/Google lawyers"

That's been tried. Nobody has ever offered any evidence that any such thing is the case. Several public figures have stated that they've met a singular female PJ. IBM has denied in open court being behind PJ.

For you to bring this up here is pathetically disengenuous.

Furthermore, most Groklaw articles these days are authored by Mark Webbink, a lawyer and law professor with a well-documented past. He's been in general agreement with PJ on this case, though he's offered less in the way of commentary.

No, FM is being castigated because he has a terrible track record of doom and gloom predictions regarding Android and Linux yet he is constantly sourced by the clueless media. He is also being paid by Oracle at this very moment. He is basically their mouth piece. How disingenuous do you have to be cooldeal to pretend that he is somehow an objective source? How objective are you?
