Oracle owes HP $3 billion in damages for breach of contract, jury says

Oracle must pay HP $3 billion in damages, a California jury has ordered, for breaching a contract relating to HP's servers. HP says Oracle broke an agreement to keep developing software for servers based on Intel's Itanium chips, while Oracle had argued that Intel made it clear in 2011 that the chip type was on its way to obsolesce, and that it didn't have a contract to keep developing the software forever.
