Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) Dodges A Bullet For Us All
Author By Sophia VidaPosted on While many of us may not understand the aspects of Google’s landmark case with Oracle, it still affects us all in our digital lives.
This week a federal jury in California has awarded Google the win in a billion dollar case over Android that has gone on for years.
The jury decided that Google owes Oracle none of the $9.3 billion it demanded for the non-existent offense of duplicating the functions of Oracle’s Java software in the code of its Android operating system.
While Google dodged a very expensive bullit, the decision also helped avoid a future with software development being a permission-first environment. In other words, coders don’t have to ask permission.
