> I think the issue with Java's API was actually terribly explained even by Oracle's lawyers…

Of which none of your examples are in any way applicable to the case of google violating the Java copyright.

The Java Specification gives terms and conditions for usage which is what the lawsuit was about and not some laundry list of things which annoys a random internet person. In fact, not annoying your users isn’t even mentioned once in the conditions to call an implementation “Java” strangely enough.

Or I’m completely wrong and oracle doesn’t spend enough on their legal team.
