Google won its lawsuit against Oracle

Google has won in its trial against Oracle. The verdict was just handed down.

The jury decided that Google's use of the disputed code was "fair use."

Oracle was attempting to sue Google for billions of dollars. It had won a previous lawsuit, on appeal.

Oracle was suing Google because Google included portions of computer code called application programming interfaces or APIs in Android that had come from another programming language called Java.

Oracle owns Java, acquired when it bought Sun Microsystems.

More to come.
