    ICYMI "Standing by developers through Google v. Oracle" now on the GitHub blog. Added: links to oral arguments, a key brief from computer scientists, and a history of copyright, the software industry, and APIs

    Google v. Oracle will shape developer opportunity years to come. The U.S. Supreme Court should stand by developers and uphold their right to reimplement APIs, transfer skills, and innovate without interference.
