In a hearing in the US District Court today, it was determined that Google will pay a net total of nothing for Oracle's patent claims against them. In fact, Google is given 14 days to file an application for Oracle to pay legal fees to Google(in a similar manner to how things are done for frivolous lawsuits). However, it is not quite peaches and roses for Google, as Oracle is planning on appealing the decision in the case.
Click the link in the title for the rest of the article. It's got the history, Oracle started asking at $6.1billion, then $226 Million, Google offered $28 million to settle, the judge lowered it to no more than $150k, and now we are at $0, with Google getting a chance to bill Oracle. I didn't see any links to primary sources, but this is pretty much the result we expected.
Now we have to wait for the appeal to get denied.
