Funny, I just came across this, written in 1993:

> "Oracle Corporation has taken a public stand against the patentability of software and has forsworn use of its own patents except to counter-sue in infringement claims."

(http://www.fourmilab.ch/autofile/www/chapter2_105.html)

Does anyone know the history of Oracle's position on software patents?
