Sun, Oracle, Android, Google, Mozilla and JDK Copyleft FUD
It's weird how uncommon the knowledge that Google lost the lawsuit is. They lost it in appeal at the Federal Circuit. There is a remaining "fair use" decision from the lower courts but Google doesn't have much hope there.<p>Google's current approach using Harmony's clean-room API implementation has been basically deemed illegal. Google will likely have to pay millions if not billions to Oracle for copyright infringement. And they will continue to be infringing as long as they are distributing their current Android systems.<p>P.S. The law of the land is now that when you create an API it is copyrighted.
