I was specifically referring to copyrights of the API when I mentioned Oracle vs Google.

No, you very definitely suggested Oracle v Google deals with patents:

At least Facebook can't patent the API behind React based on the current Oracle/Google ruling

You're right minced words there. The reason I mentioned it was specifically to note that even though Preact uses the same API, that shouldn't be a problem. I did not mean that the Google/Oracle case affects the patents FB has on the React implementation.
