[android-discuss] The verdict is in... sorta

[Brian Conrad]

I heard a few minutes ago that the jury had decided against Google on 
copyright infringement in the Oracle vs Google case but couldn't decide 
on fair use.  I think this is going to raise the issue of our ridiculous 
copyright laws to the forefront.   For one thing I have a hard time with 
the idea of a company which acquired Java two years after Google 
acquired Android suing for infringement.  Unfortunately with publicly 
held companies execs feel they better sue because the stockholders will 
scream otherwise and demand their resignation.  It is one part of 
capitalism that really sucks.
