Title: Oracle vs. Google over Java code in Android
Post by: Brad on January 28, 2011, 01:07:49 PM
From all accounts Android is a nice bit of kit, but did Google copy large bits of Java code to produce it? (Hrrm, seems like Oracle has a duplicate content filter too!)  If Google loses this court case what does it mean for Android?

A couple of articles I read yesterday (which of course I can't find now) seemed to think that Google's defense was very weak.
