Copied? Fair Use? Not the point.
1. Google did something involving Java stuff.
2. The owners of Java (Sun) were OK with this and did not seek damages.
3. The new owners of Java (Oracle) decide to seek damages where none were sought before. This is called Being Shitty.
Google, Oracle and Sun are (or were in Sun's case) full of creepy people and assholes doing what they do best but if Being Shitty is upheld by our courts then that means that any agreement (written, verbal, implied) between parties can not just be invalidated by successors in interest but can be used retroactively to bleed the other party dry.
