  I suppose but would that impact any future complaints. Probably not I suppose but I'll not pretend to be a legal expert

    No, this article is about using Oracle's binary build for JDK 17, which Google does not use. The Oracle v. Google suit was in the end about Google copying the Java APIs (via Apache Harmony). While the case was ongoing Google migrated to the OpenJDK, which Oracle provides under a GPL+Classpath exception. With the case now decided, as long as Google adheres to the license Oracle has provided to them there's no controversy left.

  Are tech giant lawsuits ever really dead? I think SCO vs Linux is still shambling on in some form..

    SCO v IBM was settled back in August.[1] There might be some minor suits still ambling their way through the system but SCO is long bankrupt. I think it's safe to say that the company is down for the count. That said, I'm truly curious who's going to buy and resurrect the SCO name next.
