"Oracle can try to force the EU to change it's stance, but I wish them luck
since the European Commision had MS for lunch, so Oracle will probably go down
as a nice bed-time snack."

Actually, the court in question was the EU equivalent of the USA Supreme Court.
Short of fundamentally changing copyright law EU wide, this is as final as it
gets.

The EU Commission is not involved at all. They are the executive branch. And
there is no legal way anyone in the USA can change this ruling.

Some say the sun rises in the east, some say it rises in the west; the truth
lies probably somewhere in between.

Yes... tons of software dev will move off shore to greener pastures.. the
judge will probably think that will be a bad thing.

Most likely scenario if the judge decides for Oracle - a lot of software development is going to leave the US and move to the other side of the pond.
Isn't the issue with where the product using the API is sold?

Does the location that the product is developed really matter?
