In my view, Canonical are willful copyright violators and are staking a great deal on a guess that kernel stakeholders are not going to haul them into court, where they would very likely lose in a major way, be ordered to pay a great deal in monetary damages, and be enjoined against further violation.
Oracle has not chosen to persue any action against Canonical. I presume that a Canonical lawyer would have sent a letter to Oracle saying "we believe this to be legitimate, if you believe otherwise please contact us before we release" which would limit Oracle's ability to sue them. In any case it's not a problem for people who use Ubuntu. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
