The patent claims went to trial (separately from the copyright claims) and there was a jury verdict of non-infringement as to all patent claims. http://www.groklaw.net/pdf3/OraGoogle-1190.pdf That decision was not appealed.
From: License-discuss <license-discuss-boun...@lists.opensource.org> On Behalf Of Pamela Chestek Sent: Friday, April 30, 2021 10:09 AM To: license-discuss@lists.opensource.org Subject: Re: [License-discuss] Google v. Oracle The patent claim also dropped very quickly out of the case at very early stages - I think there may have been one published opinion about the patent claims but it wasn't significant IIRC. I'm not sure what you mean by "check the case according to the free software permissions," but the case really has nothing to do with free software. Google did not claim to be using Java under the GPLv2 w/classpath exception, they had copied a commercial version of Java and also had not complied with the OpenJDK license. The court therefore didn't have any reason to discuss a free software license. Pam Pamela S.

The case moved from patent infringement (original claim in 2010) to copyright infringement: 1) are API copyrightable 2) was their use fair or not? The second question only was answered by the Supreme Court. Did someone check the case according to the free software permissions granted by the library license (GPL-2.0 I presume)?
