I can respond only to one point just now...

The rest will come later, as I'm still compiling information at this point.

I heard of the case filed by Xerox against Sun Microsystems over Java in the Democrat & Chronicle, a New York newspaper. I wasn't even aware of the Xerox/Apple case. It wasn't followed upon (though I cannot be certain if they ever printed a story saying the case had been dropped as I do not read the paper regularly) in those pages, as far as I know, and I heard not a word on the subject in any other national-level media. Considering that, the chances are it never went very far. Xerox's case may have been frivolous for all I know. It wasn't even a page 1 story as I recall, but my mind is hazy on the subject, it was anywhere from early 2006 to early 2004 when I read the story, perhaps even earlier than that now that I think about the matter. I cannot provide a citation for it.
