Oracle wasn't accusing Google of using "stolen" code in Android. They were claiming that Google's complete re-implementation of Oracle's Java APIs was a copyright violation.

The case itself will have long lasting impacts since it has established in US law that API interfaces themselves are a copyright/protected concept. That means that even complete clean room re-implementations or compatibility layers could be threatened.

The ruling is quite problematic, but there's nobody technically literate enough in congress or the courts to do anything to stop it.

Only in the Federal Circuit, which adjudicates cases involving patent law. Copyright cases are typically decided by the other courts of appeal, and there is precedent in those courts (like Lotus v Borland) against the copyrightability of interfaces.

As it stands, Android has pulled a J++ and is a pain for any Java library writer, that now is forced to either write two versions or keep using a common subset.
