CLOS' lack of method overloading based on the number of arguments is a mismatch with Java, but something you can work around.

CLOS' "class allocated" slots are also different from Java's static members, in that you need a class instance in order to reference them. The easiest solution is to create a dummy instance through which all static field references flow.

I've waited my whole life for a relevance objection w/ a judge reply of "I want to see where it's going," but never dreamed it'd be over GNU

But it's, like, kind of the point. People at the time did not treat the APIs as copyrightable.

Google not being allowed to ask *why* Sun did not interfere with these implementations, because they can't state legal conclusions.

Google: What was GNU doing with the Java APIs? Schwartz: They were creating a free, open source version of Java.

Every time Alsup has to say that it's now the law that the APIs are copyrightable, he sounds like he wants to strangle someone
