Oracle holds in demand for about 9.000 million dollars that Google stole of their legally protected copyright to develop its Android operating system, used by most mobile phones in the world Java code.

Google, for its part, says that he acted lawfully to develop an innovative system.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt said he believes his company could freely use Java because he personally gave to know the programming language in 1995 when he was a senior executive at Sun Microsystems, the company that invented the language and was subsequently acquired by Oracle.

Oracle, meanwhile, says that Google is making billions of dollars to thousands of mobile phones every day they install the Android operating system and insists that this system contains Oracle proprietary code.
