Google Liable for Copyright Infringement, Jury Finds
« on: May 08, 2012, 12:36:59 PM »
A jury has found that Google infringed Oracle's Java copyrights in Android but could not decide unanimously if the infringement was protected by "fair use."

The jury's verdict, delivered Monday after a week of deliberation, is a partial victory for Oracle in its lawsuit against Google, but Oracle will have to wait longer -- possibly for a retrial -- to see whether Google will escape liability with its claim of fair use.

Most questions have already been addressed in the forums, get yourself educated before making decisions.

Any advice is strictly that, and anything I may state is based on my opinions, and observations.

Copyright infringement on an open source language (Java) is beyond me.  Doesn't open source mean, "go ahead and use it"?  It's gonna take a whole lot of smart folks to sort this one out.

Let's hope this doesn't spawn a new generation of computer and phone CI trolls
