“I can think of all kinds of reasons why Oracle is
suing Google over its use of its Java IP (intellectual property) in
Android. Making money from its Java patents strikes me and most
experts as the most likely reason. But, I’ve also heard suggested,
time after time, that the real reason is that Larry Ellison,
Oracle’s CEO is buddies with Steve Jobs, aka Mr. Apple and he
wanted to help Apple fight Android.“Could that be the case? Here’s the logic that supporters of
this theory use. First, Google and Apple are competiting
head-to-head in the smartphone space. The iPhone certainly has more
users, but the Android phone family is quickly catching up.”
