In the bloody battle between Oracle and Google are becoming more juicy details surfaced. On a new day of the trial Oracle CEO Safra Catz said now that Google’s competition concerns in many areas so sharp that other players have to lower their price sometimes very dramatically. Catz gave the example of the Kindle Paperwhite Amazon.
Since the beginning of the Kindles turned the e-readers on Java, the software listens to Oracle. For the Amazon Kindle Fire, however, went into business with Android, where it built its own Fire OS. When the White Paper was in the pipeline, Oracle yet again could not find an agreement to license Java for e-readers, even though at a discount of 97.5 percent.Catz suing her story of what Google is doing to make competitive market: a race to zero. Very difficult is not for Google, since Android is an open-source platform, which is free for everyone.
Unfair competition
While the statement Catz shines a new light on the way Google sharpens the competition, testimony also raises some questions: it means that Google played a role in negotiations with Amazon, they may or may not adversely affecting? Whether this means that Oracle Amazon had a stranglehold, with regard to the licensing of Java?
Meanwhile undisturbed the trial goes. It is actually a re-enactment of a song number that the two IT companies already staged in 2011. When asked $ 1 billion, today is already at 9.3 billion. In essence, Oracle accuses Google of them use Java in Android without paying royalties.
