Congress can't make retroactive laws, this case is basically done and Google won't have to pay for their use of Java that occured/occurs prior to the passing of a new law. Oracle doesn't have a vested interest in ruining copyright for everyone in the future if they can't get past damages out of it. That would hurt themselves as much as it would hurt everyone else.

I'm pretty confident that Oracle rolls over on this issue permanently.
