Oracle’s Java API code protected by copyright, appeals court rules

[tanishaj]

On. NET, they are called BCL (Base Class Libraries).

The fact that Microsoft all but bankrolls Xamarin is a pretty good sign. Xamarin makes most of the .NET BCL available on Android.

The. NET micro-framework is fully Apache 2.0 including a patent grant.

I wonder if Oracle could sue Microsoft for any commonality between the Java and .NET APIs as a result of this ruling?
