Tim,
Judge Alsup did not conflate patent and copyright law. With regards to
asserting copyright in the Java API he concludes:
To repeat, Section 102(b) states that “in no case does copyright
protection for an original work of authorship extend to any idea,
procedure, process, system, method
(several different) licenses. The problem with Google
was that they were in breach of the terms of these licenses and were
claiming that they just didn't need one since the API was not
copyrightable anyway.

Good point. I was wrong.
The higher court ruled that Oracle DID have a copyright claim.
I'm not a lawyer but I've read 3 books on intellectual property law.
At the risk of getting slightly off-topic here, here's a comment on
Hacker News from a well-respected commenter on legal issues - he's a
lawyer specialising in startup and technology law and his analysis is
uniformly excellent. He argues that while the result may be
unpalatable, it's by no
Tim, I am assuming you are aware of the non-Java Clojures called
ClojureScript and Clojure on .NET. There are multiple other non-Java
Clojure versions of varying degrees of completeness and polish.
To my knowledge, they explicitly do not try to maintain compatibility at
the Java API level --
Andy,
Yes, I'm aware of those other efforts.
ClojureScript is attacking a different platform so it is clear that
some things aren't going to work.
Specifically for Clojure, is there a clear line between the non-Java
language and the compatiblity at the Java API level? A lot of
Clojure

This would mean that you have to get Oracle's permission
and possibly pay a fee to use it.
