My first post, so thought I would just hello first off! I have just started learning java, specifically to try and a learn a little about the android applications and development side of things.
I did try a search but didn't find much, not using 'copyright' anyway.
All I was really curious on, is how does the legal side of things work? For example, if you think of an application, then develop it, to later find out a simular app already exists on the android market (or freeware), where do you stand? Also, if its been done on the Iphone, are you still accused of 'copying' the idea?
Is this a complicated subject? I'm not talking about copying sombodies idea/app on purpose, I mean innocently making something that has already been created?
Cheers,
Leon
