Does anyone have the real details of Oracle’s claim against google? The reports in the MSM are so dumbed down that I can’t even work out what they are saying, keep talking about copyright infringement of APIs.
From what I’ve interpreted, Oracle’s case was that google copied Java APIs, specifically just the Interfaces not the underlying implementation?
Is my interpretation correct? If so then that’s a really crappy assertion by oracle and the court ruling was correct imho.

Java?
Inside joke is that Oracle is considered as a legal firm.selling software.
Do your research. There were emails where James Gosling and Java team at Sun received requests from Google engineers asking/requesting for their license. Then Sun Java team asked for some money to pay their engineers (but Google wanted it for free) and then suddenly emails fell through. Few years later we have Android OS.

In my opinion, Google was in hurry to release Android to beat Apple so ignored these license related matters.
