This is a suit that Oracle needs to lose you know.
If Oracle was to win a suit that Google’s use of Java for the Android phone OS infringed on Oracle’s Intellectual Property, it would DESTROY any claim that Java is “open source” or that Java can be used on an open source operating system.
It will be the death knell for Java.
as much as I would like to see that bloated garbage language destroyed, it will kill your whole I.P. chain by winning.
not a very bright decision if you want Java to be used much on the GROWING Free Software / Open Source Software operating systems.
and for your information, my low opinion of Java is well known among many IT Professionals around the world. I recently reposted my reasons on a personal blog:

Maybe Oracle will lose their love affair with the garbage language when / if they were to read that entry.
