TechWeb: Sun Loses Another Battle in Java War

"A federal judge on Monday denied Sun's motion for a summary judgment on copyright infringement and granted Microsoft's motion to dismiss Sun's claim."

"U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte accepted Microsoft's request for summary judgment, a move that upholds the software giant's assertion that it did not violate Sun copyright laws in its use of Java technology."

"In a similar ruling April 7, Whyte denied a Sun motion for summary judgment that would have supported Sun's claim that it does not have to supply Microsoft with Java upgrades compatible with Microsoft's available software."
