Tech Dirt reports that Off We Go: Oracle Officially Appeals Google's Fair Use Win:

It was only a matter of time until this happened, but Oracle has officially appealed its fair use Java API loss [PDF] to the Federal Circuit (CAFC [US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit]). As you recall, after a years-long process, including the (correct) ruling that APIs are not covered by copyright being ridiculously overturned by CAFC, a new trial found that even if APIs are copyright-eligible, Google's use was covered by fair use. Oracle then tried multiple times to get Judge William Alsup to throw out the jury's ruling, but failed. In fact, on Oracle's second attempt to get Alsup to throw out the jury's ruling, citing "game changing" evidence that Google failed to hand over important information on discovery, it actually turned out that Oracle's lawyers had simply failed to read what Google had, in fact, handed over.

    I'd try to use Postgresql instead of MariaDB. And well, I'd imagine that Google is soon going to start officially getting behind writing Android apps with Go, and start deprecating Java. Java needs to die, but unfortunately, it has become entrenched as the COBOL of the early 21st century. C# is just exchanging one harsh master for another one.
