Oracle has agreed to waiver all damages pay-outs from a copyright infringement against Google's use of Java in order to move on to appeal larger claims.

The case revolved around Google’s use of Java in Android, Google was cleared of much of Oracle’s infringement claims last month with any damages pay-outs likely to range at hundreds of thousands rather than the $6.1 billion that Oracle had sought.

In moving on with the case Oracle is seeking to appeal to court against larger claims in the case regarding whether certain programmes can be copyrighted.
