Didn't Oracle reveal recently (maybe I'm totally misremembering this) that Google receives a shitload of revenue via Android?


Yes. To date, Android has generated $31 billion in revenue and $22 billion in net profit.

Counting web ads served to users as revenue generated by the computer's operating system is ludicrous. Oracle is trying to misrepresent the amount of money made so they can sue for damages. The numbers are BS.

Why? Isn't that precisely why Google invested so much in Android?
