    I didn't find any topic about it, so I'm creating one.

    According to some sites, it has something related to Apple's Iphone loss of market share to Android.

    The brief history is that oracle bought sun just because sun has some patents that google was supposedly infringing with google's Dalvik VM. But there's some rumors that Oracle 'is in love' with Apple, and it's all about the news that Android smartphones outsell iPhone.

    The patent list:

    6125447: Protection domains to provide security in a computer system

    6192476: Controlling access to a resource

    5966702: Method and apparatus for pre-processing and packaging class files

    7426720: System and method for dynamic preloading of classes through memory space cloning of a master runtime system process

    RE38,104: Method and apparatus for resolving data references in generated code

    6910205: Interpreting functions utilizing a hybrid of virtual and native machine

    6061520:Method and system for performing static initialization

    There is a good blog post about this case, but, what do you guys think about it? IMHO, Oracle is fuc**** with all open sources things, first was solaris, now is Java, maybe next will be MySQL...
