The scary part is that, if they had a jury like the one that hit SAP for $1.3 billion and a judge who didn't reduce that, it might theoretically have been possible. Especially if anyone actually believed Oracle's astronomical damage numbers the way the SAP jury did.

Thankfully, they got a decent judge who won't put up with that nonsense. It looks like they will be left with, at most, a small damage award. And that's assuming they don't keep shooting themselves in the foot while aiming for the moon.
