No, if I understand your question correctly. Dalvik is a virtual machine that runs translated Java code (similar to how a JVM would). Full source is included in AOSP. If you, rather, mean to ask whether a JVM license would be needed to run non-Android Java applications (e.g. legacy mobile Java apps), then yes. But this would be weird since Android provides pretty much everything you need. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Network Entertainment ============================= -- unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
