The Oracle Google Android lawsuit

I read that the lawsuit that Oracle has done against Google for using Java in the Android operating system demanding $6 billons. That is alot of money. But I also read that Google has bought 1000 patents from IBM and that sale had gone thru recently.

I'll bet that one or more of these 1000 patents is going to be used to do a counter lawsuit that will block the use of Oracles database engines. So Oracle will be forced to drop the lawsuit.

Apple has also done a lawsuite that is blocking Samsung for selling Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia and the US.

I understand that someone wants to get payed for the development they have done, but this is getting ridiculous!!!

Where would we be if all companies where working like this all the time?
