Today, I read the news that Oracle is suing Google over API patents. That's like saying that Sony is suing you for buying a CD and listening on track 10 without paying respective copyright loyalties.
In any case, the story goes around this issue where Oracle which is the owner of Java is suing the Android system because some of its API makes it to work smoothly through different hardware which is what Android actually does and made it so popular.
The demand goes over the fact that Android is an open-source system, therefore is free to use and modify for everybody, but Oracle says that the fact is free makes Java less appealing to be used because there's no reason for getting any remuneration out of it.
As you might think, I find that completely ridiculous. I just used the same example that it is used on the news article. Buying a new CD and being charged because you are hearing track 10. Oracle position here is on the wrong end, and they're asking for one billion dollars which is not the worst part, but if they win the open structure of Android as we all know it might come to an immediate end.
