The when Oracle won its copyright lawsuit against google it was because of a 8 line bound checking utility function.



Not only was that not the only code in question, you left out the conclusion! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_.... It went to the supreme court, they concluded fair use, FU oracle.


I was talking more about ethics than the law. I try to live adjacent to the law (to an extent that is reasonable and sane) in all fairness, as it will never be in-line with my ethics.

Thank you
