As regular readers of this site are well aware, Google and Oracle have had an ongoing legal spat for nearly two years now. In the time since the lawsuit's filing, the legal claims have been narrowed, damages claims have been adjusted, reduced, and reduced again.
All that activity, plus continuous settlement talks caused the trial to
be delayed several times. But now it appears that the two sides have
officially reached an impasse, and so the tech giants will go to trial
on April 16th to determine if Android illicitly pulled code from Java.
Will Oracle get paid? Will Google and its green bots be gloating in the
end? Pop some popcorn and settle in, folks, we'll start getting some
answers in a couple weeks.
