Re: If Oracle win... what then?
It's in their eventual interest to reach a settlement.
But I expect Google wants to pay much much much less than Oracle is going to want them to pay.
If Oracle said - hey, how about a dollar per line of code you copied - this would be over in a second.
But I expect it's more like "you've made X dollars off the Android platform over the years, and would have likely been unable to do so without our stolen IP. Hence, how about you pay us X % of the revenue accruing from worldwide sale of Android devices?" And out come the man-eating lawyers.
I'm sure the figures involved are enormous.
