最新的情节是:关于Oracle说Java侵权,其实Android当初刚刚诞生的时候,Sun的CEO Jonathan Schwartz当时公开在官方博客上庆祝Android而亲自撰写了一篇文章,其中还盛赞这款操作系统采用开源的Linux和Java非常棒,并表示Java能成为Android的软件开发平台十分高兴。
=================== Sun CEO博客原文 =================
Congratulations Google, Red Hat and the Java Community!
I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of others from Sun in offering my heartfelt congratulations to Google on the announcement of their new Java/Linux phone platform, Android. Congratulations!
I'd also like Sun to be the first platform software company to commit to a complete developer environment around the platform, as we throw Sun's NetBeans developer platform for mobile devices behind the effort. We've obviously done a ton of work to support developers on all Java based platforms, and were pleased to add Google's Android to the list.
The Java platform has come a long way – we're on the vast majority of mobile devices in the marketplace today (well over a billion phones at last count), and with Google's mobile services (like gMail and Google Maps), along with Yahoo !'s Go Mobile, alongside a massive spectrum of incredible entertainment offerings from folks like Electronic Arts, we have by far and away the most complete content ecosystem on the market today. Enabling carriers, handset manufacturers, content creators – and most of all, consumers – to get the most from their mobile devices.
And needless to say, Google and the Open Handset Alliance just strapped another set of rockets to the community's momentum – and to the vision defining opportunity across our (and other) planets.
Today is an incredible day for the open source community, and a massive endorsement of two of the industry's most prolific free software communities, Java and Linux.
