Oracle Wins Revival of Billion-Dollar Case Against Google
I think the part that gets lost in all of this is that Sun offered to license Java to Google previously for $100M. [1]  Google turned that down and bypassed Sun because they didn't want to pay (or license). At the time, Sun was happy to see Java being used by Google, even without the license. Still, Google knew exactly what they were doing. [2] My point is, they did this to themselves and they knew what they were possibly getting into.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.computerworld.com/article/2509401/technology-law-regulation/google--sun-offered-to-license-java-for--100m.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.computerworld.com/article/2509401/technology-law...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/why-oracle-not-sun-sued-google-over-java/" rel="nofollow">https://www.cnet.com/news/why-oracle-not-sun-sued-google-ove...</a><p>EDIT: Added the second reference and cleaned up thoughts.
