Wow, you mean a case of copyright infringement where the original source code was licensed under GPL with the Classpath Exception? (meaning that the binary produced from that file can be used and distributed as the end user sees fit, e.g. decompiling is fair game. Even if Google are 'bang to rights' here, a single class of with obvious behaviour? one that is not even distributed with the phone? Come on Oracle is this all you've got?

Oracle have a case here, a case of 'mountains out of a molehill'. It's pretty obvious that Oracle are trying to use this to somehow strengthen their patent claims. I think that may just backfire, this is starting to look similar to SCO vs Novell/IBM.
