I believe Google's reliance on Sun's representations (esp. via their CEO's
official company blog) that the Android work was just hunky-dunky would preclude
Sun's successor-in-interest (Oracle) from collecting damages based on Google's
actions taken in such reliance; AIUI, this is what "equitable
estoppel" means.
Of course, there first has to be copyright-infringing conduct on Google's part,
and that really isn't supported by the facts under any realistic reading of
copyright law as applied to the APIs in question.
