The news reports have been mentioning that the verdict does not address
the issue of "fair use" that Google raised.

If you go to the verdict:

it seems that only the rangeCheck method of some API is in violation (and,
to the original point, it doesn't say anything about the fair use).

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.
