Ronald Whyte was the federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California who handled much of the Sun vs. Microsoft dispute over Java in the late 1990s.

He issued a preliminary injunction in 1998 that ordered Microsoft to stop distributing versions of its Windows‑specific Java that failed Sun’s compatibility tests.

Whyte’s rulings were key in forcing Microsoft to back away from “polluted” Java extensions and comply with the original Java licensing terms.

I actually remember those MS Java Virtual Machine CDs MS had to distribute separately with Win98 because of this. Wow.

Java was birthed by a genius and grew up in litigation and was taken in by a house even more litigious.
