after all, and his decision will most likely please everyone in the

API's are not copyrightable in the US.
Now that the trial, if I understand, is over (with the exception of some
minor stuff), can we try to draw some conclusions? For instance:
1. The licensing model of Java doesn't have any "trap" and people are
really free to use it
2. At this point, the argument of Java not having an "open spec" (see
discussions about JDK 7 vs Java 7 vs C#) loses value.
I wonder whether at this point Google could drop the ambiguity and
officially say that Android is based on a "Java runtime".
