I know most people disagree with this guy but he's been right so far so I'm gonna post this anyway. http://www.fosspatents.com/2015/06/oracle-v-google-android-java-copyright.html
I agree with their decision. Google copied the core APIs of Java and in doing so, fractured the Java community. My view is that the API is the summary of the story while the implementation is the text. Disclosure: I'm a software developer who hates Java.
