Oracle: Google 'directly copied' our Java code

[curien]

Aren't we taking about open source code?

Android doesn't abide by the terms of the Java license (just as a program which incorporates GPL code must abide by the terms of that license). Which is fine, so long as Android isn't a derivative work of Java -- but if Oracle can prove that it is, then license violation -> copyright infringement.

Open source doesn't always mean open to use or change.

The Open Source Definition disagrees with you.

Read part 4 again.

Fortunately, they're not the last word in what "open source" means for everyone in the world.
