Google in boiling water over Java

Just after Google has release Nexus One cellphone(available in the market in January 2010) now they in the boiling water. Apparently Oracle sued Google over Java code that they have used in android. Oracle bought Sun Micro System inc in January this year, that means everythings owned and developed by Sun Micro System is now owned by Oracle and that includes Java Script.

I think in terms of Court laws Oracle have a better chances of winning the case but what need to clear is that Google din't just used Java as it is but they made some changes( I have they colled it a clean version). Another thing is that some of Google's Officials took part in the development of Java for example Google CEO Eric Schmidt was one of the team leader that develop Java at Sun Micro before move to Novell which later  to Google in 2001 also senior vice President of operation and Google  Fellow also played a role in Java development in 1990.
