You can be forgiven if you’re not 100 percent certain what the US Supreme Court ruled in its Google vs. Oracle decision . Yes, we know that “Google won” — or, as Justice Stephen Breyer wrote, “Google’s copying [of the Java API] did not violate the copyright law.” This is true, but goes only so far. Google, after all, had gone to court with two big arguments: one, that APIs aren’t copyrightable and, two, that even if APIs are copyrightable, Google’s use of the Java API to develop Android constituted fair use .
