1 22 message, according to foreign media reports, an intellectual property experts found 43 examples to prove that in the latest version of Google's Android operating system, Java code is copied without permission .
this evidence might refute Google Android with Oracle in the Java patent and copyright infringement of legal disputes to do for their own defense.
closely following the case and create NoSoftwarePatents (not software patents) FlorianMueller organization said in a blog, this discovery process is very productive for Oracle, for Google, is very scary.
Mueller examined the Android code, in addition to Oracle in the lawsuit referred to a file, he also found six files are very similar with the Java files. These files are in Android2.2 version and the 2.3 version found.
In addition, Mueller pointed out that the code in the Android Thirty-seven files contain some tips, saying that this code is Sun's proprietary code.
Mueller said that no matter what Google says, the copyright header file that the code should be re-authorized under the Apache software license before you can use. Google is licensed under the Apache user to use Android operating system. Some people say that Oracle Instant / Sun after the GPL license will be provided based on this file (which I have not found conclusive evidence), that would not allow this change in license.
Although Google is using Java code with the original code a little bit of difference, however, Mueller found that the difference is the result of using a compiler. When he called JAD using the Java compiler and decompiler against seven different files, he found the results to the files found in Android is almost the same.
Google did not comment on Mueller's argument.
Oracle on Google last August to prosecute alleged violations of Google Android operating system, the Java copyright. Oracle's acquisition of Sun won the Java copyright. Google said the lawsuit is unfounded, and denied the violation of copyright.
If you find that Google infringed copyright, Google will sell each for the Android phones to pay license fees to Oracle. Google this cost can be passed on equipment manufacturers. However, this will reduce the Android operating system as a free attraction.
