1. Google has taken the headers from OpenJDK (GPL licensed) into Android ( https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/01/android-n-switches-to-openjdk-google-tells-oracle-it-is-protected-by-the-gpl/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/01/android-n-switch... )
2. USSC claims Google's copying Java headers is fair use.
3. Many jurisdictions does not have a fair use doctrine.
So the question is, do you think Google is infringing the GPL by copying headers into Android, according to the most restrictive interpretation or the most restrictive copyright regime?
I think the unfortunate truth is that, for some reason, only US copyright law seems to matter.
