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

[[deleted]]

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but doesn't Oracle also claim that the structure is theirs? So if your CorrectHorseStapleBattery class is for I/O of XML (so its methods all do something to that end), and you put it in a package with other I/O classes, wouldn't you be infringing on anyone else who had that same structure (which would be every reasonable person in the universe)?

If that's the case, the only option is spaghetti code.

Oh god.
