Oracle for years lobbied states, Justice Dept to sue Google

The idea that Oracle (and News Corp) drove the choice of Google as the starting point for the new wave of government actions is not new, but I am puzzled that Oracle would want to brag about it.

Personally I think this reinforces the perception that these are the ways that Oracle competes.

Or maybe it's just me. I admit to being a fan of Google's old engineering first style - spending a minimum on advertising, lobbying, and maintaining an open and loose organization (which they've had to reverse this is last few years of course).

And so it follows that I dislike Oracle for how they compete and how they come off in this article. Maybe others react differently to it?
