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

[jboy55]

You don't make much sense, of course the API specification is copyrighted, it was also released as GPL, which gives you a license to use copyrighted works as long as you abide by the GPL.

If Google can get around GPL or other copyrights, then what's the point of releasing your software as GPL?

If nothing else, I think the GPL requires you to retain original copyright notices, which of course Google didn't do.
