There's a fair use defense for interoperability. Which hasn't been defined in this case. So despite all the hype, this case is unlikely to have a huge effect

There's a fair use defense for interoperability.
Which hasn't been defined in this case.
So despite all the hype, this case is unlikely to have a huge effect on the software industry.
Oracle might try and paint that picture, but I'm afraid it will. There can be no software industry if APIs are subject to copy-write, and if they are, simply using them always comes under fair use. That's why....you use them.
- ktRolster 10y agoYour understanding of the law is really weak. Go read this, and keep reading it until you have some understanding of it: https://www.eff.org/files/2014/11/10/oracle_v_google_13-1021.opinion.5-7-2014.1.pdf https://www.eff.org/files/2014/11/10/oracle_v_google_13-1021... If there are any difficult terms you don't understand, look them up in Google. Build yourself some understanding and you'll say less stupid stuff.
