Google has hired James Gosling, the father of the famous Java programming language. It should work on many projects, including the integration of Java in Android at the heart of a lawsuit with Oracle. During the acquisition of Sun by Oracle, Mr. Gosling has been compared to Larry Ellison "prince of darkness" and said that his eyes shone when his lawyers realized they could lodge a complaint against Google for patent infringement.
He left Oracle shortly after the purchase. To recall (see "Does Android uses Java code it illegally?"), Android uses Dalvik which is similar to Java. Google also uses files that have no right to distribute. It all resulted in a judicial proceeding brought by Oracle. In addition to providing expertise in the development of Android, Google could also use James Gosling in his legal fight against Oracle.
His unique role in the creation and evolution of Java could help the search engine to prepare his defense.
