A lot of people/companies contacted the judges last time but some were actually companies backing Oracle (eg microsoft?)

What you can do as a developer is to ensure your company is not using any of oracles cash cows.



EFF has collected all of the briefs submitted throughout the dispute at https://www.eff.org/cases/oracle-v-google

I don't recall any computer/software companies actually backing Oracle, other than Oracle itself.


The article says the BSA (Business Software Alliance) has filed a brief in Oracle's favor. This is their membership: https://www.bsa.org/membership

(Obviously this is not a unanimous support list, as I believe Microsoft has filed in Google's favor.)
