Oracle vs. Google: It’s Not Looking Good For Android Excerpt: What’s It To You? If Oracle were to win this suit at trial, almost every application for Android would become an infringing piece of software. This isn’t the sort of thing that makes developers or manufacturers feel secure about the Android platform. Google would likely be forced to pay a hefty sum for lost profits to Oracle, and handset manufacturers would probably start having to pay licensing fees (essentially, a royalty), whether to Google as an Android licensing fee or directly to Oracle, since that’s where it would end up anyways. Google would also become subject to using that software under Oracle’s licensing terms. This means higher phone prices, and might scare manufacturers into spending more time with alternative mobile operating systems. Developers would probably also have to comply with an Oracle licensing agreement. More: androidpolice.com
