I am so not a lawyer, but while Oracle is increasing the noise its

paid team of legal geniuses may actually convince a judge of that) -
the actua case has been turning google's way every time.
Frankly speaking, I see the actual case turning Oracle's way every time.
I think Oracle has concrete chances to make a good deal of money out of
it and the mere fact that now Oracle and Google are talking about money
sounds to me as a precise indication. I don't think that the Android
express will derail, for the simple reason that Oracle doesn't want to
"punish" Google, but to make money. You don't kill the golden-egg
chicken, so they will probably get a reasonable amount of money that
makes Oracle happy and Google not too sad.
BTW, the fact that Microsoft is already making money out of Android for
a patent thing already demonstrates that Google didn't make all the
legal homework properly.
