As I said, Google could have created new packages with the same functionality, but they didn’t. They copied Oracle’s Java libraries exactly. Even if you reimplement the implementing code, you’ve still copied a lot from the creative expression. One could argue that there’s more effort needed on part of designing the libraries than their underlying implementation, which would be much more straightforward.
