The ongoing Oracle-Google Android dispute took yet another interesting turn on Thursday when Sun Microsystems' founder and former boss Scott McNealy, testifying for Oracle, told the federal court that Google needed a license to use Sun's Java programming interfaces for developing its Android mobile operating system.
Siding with Oracle, which acquired the rights to Java with its 2010 purchase of Sun Microsystems, McNealy said that the Java specifications which Google had used for its Android software had to be paid for with a license.
