A jury has ruled for Google in its court fight against Oracle over the use of the company's Java API in Android. The jury agreed with Google's view that Android's use of Java was covered under the fair use clause.
CNBC posted the ruling on its Twitter feed:

The verdict is just the latest chapter in the battle between the two tech company. Oracle first filed its lawsuit against Google in 2010, claiming that Android's use of Jave violated its patents. In 2012, another jury ruled in favor of Google, but in 2014, a Federal Circuit appeals court decision ruled that the case go back to district court, claiming that Oracle did in fact have copyright protection of their Java APIs.
