 Because Android is based on the Linux kernel, this means that Linux is now the dominant kernel on both mobile platforms (via Android), and supercomputers, and a key player in server operating systems too.In August 2010, Oracle sued Google claiming that its use of Java in Android infringed on Oracle's copyrights and patents.The initial "Oracle v. Google" trial ended in May 2012, with the finding that Google did not infringe on Oracle's patents, and the trial judge ruled that the structure of the Java application programming interfaces (APIs) used by Google was not copyrightable.
