Re: [General] Oracle sues Google over Java use in Android

Very interesting indeed...  Oracle has never had a great reputation for
benevelonce in the Open Source Community and this attack on Google won't
help.   Seems to be more about J2ME licensing on Android (which is not open
source) than it is about OpenJDK (which is Open Source).

Perhaps first of many. Seems like Oracle is ready to collect royalties on &quot;its&quot; Java technology.<br>
