Google-Oracle: two e-mail messed New Android
Supporters of Google and the Android operating system, it seems, have to worry about, at least for the legal battle that the Mountain View giant is pushing ahead with Oracle about licensing of Java on your operating system.
Two e-mails, in fact, seem to worsen the position of Google. The first was written in 2005 by Andy Rubin: "If Sun does not want to work with us, we have two options: 1) To abandon our work and take MSFT CLR VM and C # - or - 2) Continue anyway with Java and defend our decision, perhaps making enemies along the way. "
The second, however, is newer, having been written by a Google employee in 2010: "What we have been asked to do (from [Google founders] Larry [Page] and Sergey [Brin]) is to investigate what alternatives appropriate techniques exist to Java for Android and Chrome. We have analyzed a group but we do all that crap. We conclude that we need to negotiate a license for Java under the terms for which we need. "
