News

  • US Federal Court overturns lower court ruling on whether APIs can be subject to copyright in long-running Oracle vs. Google suit. Short and the sweet, the US courts have said Oracle can copyright APIs, and not just the code underneath them. It's a significant, but not final, setback for Google and Android (note that Google has a replacement for Dalvik, but it's really not the point), as well as software that emulates APIs for x-platform compatibility or other reasons.
    Why we should care: potentially huge implications in creating products that interact with another organization's API where that org asserts copyright. It's by no means over, and a separate ruling on whether Google's use falls under Fair Use doctrine (and whether Google will appeal) is still to come, but it's an ugly precedent that surprised pretty much everyone.
  • Ben Evan's "Unfair but Relevant" chart shows a lot about market opportunities. It's a comparison of Facebook logins in different countries, and what platform is used, and gives insight into iOS and Android target markets. Apple targets mature markets with disposable income to generate cash. Android OEMs target all markets, and sees huge market share in markets where people don't have $600-800 to drop on an iPhone (or its subsidized contract).
    Why we should care: Market focus and opportunity.
