The best outcome would be for both Oracle and Google to loose. The judge would say "No, you can't copyright an API. Also, you are assholes. Oracle is hereby ordered to pay $80bn to some guy named Bob who lives out in the desert somewhere. Google has to pay Bob $50bn, because you are also a bunch of pricks."

Hmmm. I am making a wild guess here that the commenter's first name is Robert. And that he lives in a remote part of Nevada.

US courts' capacity for eyewateringly stupid decisions are renowned, so, who knows ... good luck.
