INkantolo Ephakeme yase-United States Isicelo se-Google sokudlulisa ukucatshangelwa kokusalindile icala elithi "Oracle vs. Google" enkantolo ephakeme kakhulu. Ngonyaka odlule, iNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala yase-U.S Isikhalazo sika-Oracle futhi sachitha isinqumo sika-2016 esivuna i-Google esihlobene nokusetshenziswa kwe-Java API kuplathifomu ye-Android. Ephendula isicelo se-Google, iNkantolo Ephakeme yase-US yavuma ukufunda izinto zecala futhi ibuyele ukuze icabangele udaba lokuthi ingabe i-application programming interfaces (APIs) ingeyempahla yobuhlakani yini.
Masikhumbule ukuthi ngo-2012 ijaji elinolwazi lwezinhlelo ngesimo se-Google futhi ukuthi isihlahla segama esakha i-API siyingxenye yesakhiwo somyalo - isethi yezinhlamvu ezihlotshaniswa nomsebenzi othile. Isethi yemiyalo enjalo ichazwa umthetho we-copyright njengengekho ngaphansi kwelungelo lobunikazi, njengoba ukuphindwaphindwa kwesakhiwo somyalo kuyimfuneko yokuqinisekisa ukuhambisana nokuphatheka. Ngakho-ke, ubunikazi bemigqa enezimemezelo nezincazelo zezihloko zezindlela akusho lutho - ukusebenzisa ukusebenza okufanayo, amagama emisebenzi akha i-API kufanele afane, ngisho noma umsebenzi ngokwawo wenziwa ngendlela ehlukile. Njengoba kunendlela eyodwa kuphela yokuveza umbono noma umsebenzi, wonke umuntu ukhululekile ukusebenzisa izimemezelo ezifanayo futhi akekho ongalawula izinkulumo ezinjalo.
U-Oracle wafaka isikhalazo futhi wawina e-US Federal Court of Appeals - Inkantolo yokudlulisa amacala ibone ukuthi i-Java API iyindawo yobuhlakani ye-Oracle. Ngemuva kwalokhu, i-Google yashintsha amaqhinga futhi yazama ukufakazela ukuthi ukuqaliswa kwe-Java API endaweni yesikhulumi se-Android kwakuwukusetshenziswa okufanele, futhi lo mzamo. . Isikhundla se-Google kube ukuthi ukudala isofthiwe ephathekayo akudingi ukulayisensa i-API, nokuthi ukuphindaphinda i-API ukuze udale okulingana nokusebenza okuhambisanayo kuthathwa "njengokusetshenziswa okufanele." Ngokusho kwe-Google, ukuhlukanisa ama-API njengempahla yengqondo kuzoba nomthelela ongemuhle embonini, njengoba kubukela phansi ukuthuthukiswa kwezinto ezintsha, futhi ukudalwa kwama-analogue asebenzayo ahambisanayo ezingxenyekazi zesofthiwe kungase kube isihloko sokumangalelwa.
U-Oracle wafaka isicelo sokubuyekeza okwesibili kanti futhi icala kwaba njalo ngomusa wakhe. Inkantolo inqume ukuthi umgomo "wokusetshenziswa kahle" awusebenzi ku-Android, njengoba le nkundla ithuthukiswa i-Google ngezinjongo zobugovu, ezitholwa hhayi ngokuthengiswa okuqondile komkhiqizo wesofthiwe, kodwa ngokulawula amasevisi ahlobene nokukhangisa. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-Google igcina ukulawula kubasebenzisi ngokusebenzisa i-API yobunikazi ukuze ixhumane namasevisi ayo, enqatshelwe ukuthi isetshenziselwe ukudala ama-analogue asebenzayo, i.e. Ukusetshenziswa kwe-Java API akukhawulelwe ekusetshenzisweni okungezona ezohwebo.
