"The idea of appealing up a court decision is that you reach a more competent court"

In this instance, I hope that Google does take this case right up to the Supreme Court if necessary given the adverse ramifications for developers if this most recent ruling is allowed to stand.

These days, Oracle is pretty much the template for Evilcorp given that it's trying to use litigation to extract money a la patent trolls instead of innovating and because it's so anti open source.
