- lambda 13y agoLikewise for Java.
- deciplex 13y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I think if Dalvik were released under a license compatible with the Oracle runtimes, this whole thing between Oracle and Google goes away? I agree allowing copyrighting of APIs is a bit daft, but the point is that if you're trying to draw a parallel between MySQL/MariaDB and Java/Dalvik, it doesn't apply. (Assuming the MariaDB fork has a compatible license, which I believe it does.)
