Google considers third parties to be responsible for Oracle
Google has responded to Oracle's legal claims about a copyright violation of Java in the Android operating system.
Google has officially declared that not only it is responsible for copyright infringement, but also third parties. This means that the developer of the Android OS is the Open Handset Alliance, which includes 78 companies. “The Android platform, including, without limitation, the Dalvik VM, was independently developed by the Open Handset Alliance,” Google said in a statement. “As part of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), Android is supported and further developed, including adding code from the Android community and developers, as well as tens of thousands of developers who create Android applications.”

The Android Open Source Project (“AOSP”) has been adopted, including the rating code Android Community Guidelines for Android.
As for the allegedly infringed patents, Google proposes to consider them to be generally invalid because of the obviousness and general use of the ideas described.

According to Google, the Dalvik bytecode is clearly separated from the Java bytecode, so the Dalvik VM cannot be considered a Java VM.
Regarding the document presented by Oracle with a detailed comparison of the “stolen” code, Google suspects the plaintiff of “editing and deleting individual fragments”. This situation is very similar to the SCO lawsuit against IBM, when SCO also accused IBM of plagiarism and copy-paste of the code, and even showed such code. But at the trial IBM managed to prove that the plaintiff had specially “combined” the code in such a way as to extricate the similarity.
