Because the bucks stop with Google.
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 14 2012 @ 02:59 AM EDT
Android was and is Google's brainchild. They and they alone, imho, are responsible for the provenance of its code.

The nine files were there, in their entirety.

I'm not a lawyer and haven't been able to figure out what de minimus means in this context. It appears, however, that the judge and the jury's opinions do differ.

Of such are appeals made. Its only money.

The API/SSO copyright issue is the important one.

Not wilful.

I suspect that Google's evidence about Noser doing it contrary to their
instructions and contract was to establish that the copying was not wilful.

Best wishes,
Bob

The Evidence At Trial
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, May 14 2012 @ 09:24 AM EDT
I think it is correct that Oracle sues Google over these
files and not Noser. Google is responsible for the actions of
their sub-contractor. However, if Google ends up having to
pay Oracle for the inclusion of these files and wants that
money back, *Google* should go to Switzerland and sue Noser
for this contract breach.

(With 'correct' I mean it in a procedural sense. It is not my
intention to actually support Oracle with this lawsuit in any
way.)
