Google's Supreme Court Win Seen as Victory for Open-Source Business Model

A Supreme Court ruling that sided with Alphabet Inc.’s Google in its 10-year legal battle with Oracle Corp. reaffirms the business model behind open-source software — sharing bits of computer code for free, experts said. The ruling said Google did not violate copyright protections when it used lines of Java computer code that allow its Android mobile operating system to connect to other software.
