Oracle seeks $9.3B for Google’s use of Java in Android
What does the API ruling mean for the rest of us?<p>If I were to write an ISC licensed clean room implementation of Apple UIKit, would Apple be in the right to bury me?<p>If Oracle thinks they can ask for 9.3 billion and are likely expecting to get 1 or 2, it sounds scary.<p>But I hope this will lead to more and more open APIs without a single entity holding the keys and people being very scared to use closed and copyrighted APIs. If less people use it, its importance will equally be diminishing. That&#x27;s the hope.
