The new solicitor general doesn't like Google's Supreme Court case against Oracle any more than the old solicitor general did.
SG Noel Francisco's office formally recommended to the Supreme Court on Friday that it deny certiorari in the 9-year-old copyright battle between Silicon Valley titans. The office rejected Google's arguments that the declaring code that organizes Java application programming interfaces cannot be copyrighted. It also turned away Google's argument that using the code to make its Android operating system interoperable with Java was a fair use.
