Thinking cynically, could an Oracle win increase demand for programmers? Companies may need to hire lots of extra programmers to audit what they have, and possibly rewrite or make trivial and mechanical API changes to avoid infringement. Sort of like the broken window theory from economics - break ALL the windows.
I mean, API-copyright plumbing wouldn't be my first choice of work, but might make for a decent part time remote job while I spent most of my energy on something else that is actually useful.
