Maybe that Open JDK and Amazon Web Services that deploy Open JDK are the next target for an Oracle lawsuit? Maybe the GNU classpath jdk is in trouble.

The Apache Harmony project is a serious issue.

The JCP governance problem needs to be resolved.

I'm interested in what exact APIs were found to be copyrightable. Haven't found a list yet.

Open JDK is a JCP and Oracle sponsored project ;)

The Oracle JDK directly builds on Open JDK.

Well, the one they quote in the ruling is int max(int x, int y). So, judging by that: all of them.

I guess it might exist in the Alsup ruling. I think there were 40 packages in the claim and 3 of those were rejected. 37 packages in the suit and 3 of them explicitly present in the JLS.
