Google Engineer Admits Scrubbing Java References in Android
Found on eWEEK on Friday, 13 May 2016
One email shown to the jury referred to Bornstein calling for any mention of the "J word" to be removed when Android was released in 2007, months after Apple had introduced the first iPhone. The list of words to be scrubbed also included "Oracle," "license" and "Sun," Oracle contended.
As a result, Oracle has been on a seven-year legal mission to reclaim damages -- in the realm of $9.3 billion -- it believes it is owed by Google.
If you use someone else's code, at least admit it. It's not that complex.
