- AnimalMuppet 11y agoUseful to some degree, but if I understand correctly, patents are not part of Oracle's suit.
- icebraining 11y agoThere were, but the jury found non-infringement on both.
- tracker1 11y agoThank you for this.. that was my question, in a different comment. I was curious how using OpenJDK would prevent a similar lawsuit... Also, does this mean that Dalvik will be enhanced to support Java's compiled modules directly, or are they outright replacing Dalvik? TFA doesn't make much of this all that clear to me. Though I admit I only skimmed it.
- on_and_off 11y agoDalvik is already retired and replaced by ART. Judging from the commits on AOSP, ART is still being worked on and has been adapted to openjdk. It looks like it is here to stay.
- geofft 11y agoIsn't OpenJDK under the GPLv2, which does not come with a patent grant?
