Oracle asks a Judge to forget Java ruling
 

Optimistic lawyers working for Oracle have asked a Judge to set aside a landmark jury trial which prevents it screwing shedloads of cash from Google and its Android operating system.

A jury found Google rightfully helped itself to Oracle programming code to create the Android operating system.

The law allows use of copyrighted material in limited circumstances based on the scope of use, to what extent the purpose is commercial, and the effect of the use on the material’s value or market potential.

For six-years, Oracle had been seeking up to $9 billion in damages from Google. A judge already rejected a bid in May by Oracle to get the verdict thrown out. But the software and cloud company hasn’t given up.
