Obama administration asks U.S. top court to decline Google copyright appeal

The Obama administration on Tuesday sided against Google Inc and said the U.S. Supreme Court should not hear the company’s appeal in a case against Oracle Corp with wide implications for the technology industry, according to a court filing.The case involves how much copyright protection should extend to the Java programming language. Oracle won a federal appeals court ruling last year that allows it to copyright parts of Java, while Google argues it should be free to use Java without paying a licensing fee.
