@JohnVoter That's the most substantive defense of Google I've seen. Basically they're claiming to have re-invented Java? That may satisfy copyright law, but I don't think it satisfies patent law.
If I create a mousetrap and patent it, then you go into a clean room and create the same mousetrap you are still subject to my patent, even if you can prove you haven't violated copyright.
