Didn't Google won the the "Oracle vs Google" case on the ground that APIs aren't patentable?

What prevent MS(or any other big player) to re-implement GMS?



The "Oracle vs Google" case isn't over, it's up for appeal...


It would be funny if Google copied Microsoft's monopolist strategies to avoid Windows cloning (APIs are ever changing and complex, especially regarding bug compatibility, no protocol docs+obfuscation, etc)... :-)
