I hope that the judge determines that API's aren't copyright-able. Can't say that I'm 100% optimistic that they will rule that way, but I like to think that common sense will prevail. A man can dream...

Well, if the judge were to decide they are copyrightable, then the whole software world would be in turmoil, it would be chaos (think of the current mess we have for the patent system, 10 fold).
And it is not over by a long shot, Oracle have hinted that they intent to appeal. I can see the lawyers salivating.
