“Today, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision of national significance in copyright law, reversing earlier decisions by lower courts and ruling that Oracle must return $12.8 million in non-taxable expenses (plus interest) that Rimini Street paid to Oracle in 2016. This refund is in addition to the $21.5 million that Oracle previously returned to Rimini Street, following a decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Rimini Street’s appeal of the judgment in the Oracle v. Rimini Street case. The decision resolves a nationwide split among federal appellate courts about the proper measure of costs in copyright litigation.

Money may be drop but Oracle LOST in a very very public way that cannot be undone. Lost to Rimini Street! LE hates hates hates to lose and Supreme Court says he is #loser!
This is a drop of water in the ocean for Oracle billions of dollars budget.
ROTFL Oracle and its hordes of lawyers spent millions and millions on this case. A net loss for sure, plus the humiliation of losing in the Supreme Court to Rimini Street!
Now on to the Java API case, eh?
Hope LE is enjoying his tennis party.
