Google wins six-year long $9-billion legal battle with Oracle over use of Java APIs in Android. Oracle sued Google in 2010 claiming that the company illegally used 11,500 lines of Java code in its Android operating system, violating copyrights owned by Oracle. Google called the verdict “a win for the Android ecosystem” as well as software developers who rely on open and free programming languages to build innovative consumer products. Oracle, of course, said it will appeal to the US Supreme Court.
