Dalvik: how Google routed around Sun's IP-based licensing restrictions on Java ME
- wmf 19y agoThis situation is hardly new; Dalvik is (unsurprisingly) similar to the Danger VM and a few other unlicensed embedded pseudo-Java VMs. (Blast from the past: http://www.networkworld.com/news/0323sun.html http://www.networkworld.com/news/0323sun.html) I disagree with the analysis about patents. Dalvik has Java semantics and probably infringes several Sun patents. But all software these days infringes patents; who cares.
