I agree that counter suing is one tactic.
Another one is that after all the denunciations and sabre-rattling, Google hand over a wad of cash to licence the technology and Oracle score a slice of Android sales.
Merely the threat of future lawsuits... justified or not, could harm Android adoption, so Google may settle (after posturing and sabre-rattling of course) on that basis alone
- rodh257 16y agoAndroid is free though isn't it? they can have 100% of Google's Android sales in that case :)
- tezza 16y agoHandsets with Android are not free.
- stanleydrew 16y agoBut does Google get any money from handset sales?
- awa 16y agoMoney they make (through ads) by having Google as the default search engine
- stanleydrew 16y agoRight, but that's not money made up front.
- rodh257 16y agobut they aren't going after the handset manufacturers, Google can hardly hand Oracle HTCs profits if Google never sees them.
