Oracle vs Google
Oracle pozwał Google-a za nielicencjonowane użycie Javy w Androidzie. Tymczasem Google użył bezpośrednio kodu z projektu Apache Harmony, czyli de facto Javy otwartej przez IBM-ai udostępnionej na licencji Apache License v2.

Licencja Apache v2 zawiera podobną jak w przypadku GPL klauzulę 'obronną', mówiącą o wygaśnięciu licencji wobec osoby pozywającej. W przypadku Oracle-a oznaczałoby to wygaśnięcie np. licencji Apache Xerces, Tomcat, Axis, Commons, CXF, Logging, Lucene, Maven, Struts, Subversion, czyli generalnie JavaEE... Prawnicy Google-a będą musieli pokombinować jak jej użyć.
