The filing cabinet analogy thing that google used was confusing and weird. I think google probably did wrong legally but the outcome is good because compatibility of code is good.

I blame lawyerspeak. They used whatever would sell their concept to the Jury, and it appears to have worked.

Frankly, Oracle is just the new SCO. They want a piece of the pie that they were not involved in (since Android was largely developed under Sun's watch, and Sun's CEO said in court that they had zero reason to go after Google even if they hadn't made an agreement because of the GPL/FOSS viewpoint).

Oracle bought Sun and now is throwing a tantrum because Sun didn't go after them. Oracle even admitted in the court case that they tried to replicate Google's success with Java in Android by making their own and couldn't do it. So its the tantrum of a angry child that is hurting financially and looking for a convenient cash source.

I am a rich man named oracle. Being generous, I leave a bunch of tools out for my neighbors to use. Years go by and I'm not as rich as I used to be, but my jerk neighbor Google has built a very nice house with my tools. I feel that part of that house belongs to me because I am a doodyhead.

Hi byob

Let me edit this a bit for you.

I am a rich man named oracle. I bought a bunch of tools from a neighbor who passed away named Sun. Asian guy, I'm assuming. At least he tasted Asian. Might have been Scottish. Anyways, Being generous, I leave a bunch of the tools that already belonged to the community out for my neighbors to use. Years go by and I'm not as rich as I used to be, but my jerk neighbor Google has built a very nice house with the community tools I let sit on my lawn. I feel that part of that house belongs to me because I am a doodyhead.
