Java founder James Gosling now working for Google | John Paczkowski | Digital Daily | AllThingsD

I suspect we haven’t seen the final chapter in this story yet

Java founder James Gosling, who left Oracle after its acquisition of Sun Microsystems last year, has a new job: Working for Google.

[…]

And a dash of litigation as well. Gosling’s hiring at Google comes as the company faces an Oracle lawsuit accusing that it “knowingly, directly and repeatedly infringed Oracle’s Java-related intellectual property.” I imagine having on your payroll the father of the programming language at issue in the suit will come in handy when it goes to trial.
