The Apache Software Foundation Subpoenaed to Produce Documents in Oracle America vs. Google

The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) has received a [United States District Court subpoena] requiring the production of documents related to the use of Apache Harmony code in the Android software platform, and the unsuccessful attempt by Apache to secure an acceptable license to the Java SE Technology Compatibility Kit.


The request, received from Oracle America’s attorneys on May 2nd gives the Foundation until May 13th, 2011 to produce the required materials. 
Apache will, of course, be complying with all court requirements.  As an open development group the majority of our documents are already publicly available.

Please address any discussion to the ASF Legal mailing list.
