Yes, it's welcome to get it over with.
I do get to bitch about one aspect here of the US civil legal system, though.
If you've gone so far as to burn our (the public's) time and money to file a
lawsuit, you shouldn't be able to seal up the court transcript, or have a
non-public settlement. Call it the price you pay for wasting our time (i.e.
the court system's time).
Unfortunately, this may just be a case of Oracle's patents vs NetApp's
patents. Oracle obviously holds a lot of patents and could
counter-sue using one of its own patents. Oracle's handshake
agreement with NetApp does not in any way shield other zfs commercial
users from a patent lawsuit from NetApp.
