Does anybody know what the charges exactly mean that Oracle charged
against Google? It had to do with Java and Google's Android.

What I see happening:
1) Android is developed with Java. Everybody is happy.
2) Oracle buys Sun, and thus gets Java.
3) Oracle brings Google to the courtroom.

I am horribly bad at reading legal stuff, so somebody can explain it to
me in a more logical/clear way, please do.
