Oracle accuses Google of directly copying Java in Android

Monday, November 15, 2010

A new section in the ongoing Google versus Oracle saga is progressing, this time with the last cited accusing the previous of “directly copying” Java code for use in the Android OS. Oracle is asserting that major chunks of the code that makes up Android is, for need of a better period, exact duplicate and pasted from the code utilised by Oracle, including class libraries, names, definitions, parameters and even documentation.


Google has not made a prescribed public answer to the newest charges, but in the past has suspect Oracle of being dishonest. The foundations of Android’s submissions are based on Java, and the speed increases profited in type 2.2 of the OS arrive from a custom engine called Dalvik. If Oracle wins their case entirely, major Android telephones could be compelled off the market.

It is likely, however, that if Oracle were to completely win their case, they would agree to some kind of from Google, which would probably be a substantial figure. This one is far from over people, so keep your dials tuned to TalkAndroid for the latest in the Google versus Oracle fiasco.
