Why? The Java we use is GPL licensed. As long as we use a JDK/VM that is open, we are good.

All,
You all may not realize that I have been *very* involved in the long road to open Java. I am also an Apache member and was a mentor for the Apache Harmony project (which is where Android got their Java-compliant, open source class libraries from).
The lawsuit is so far very narrowly targeting their use of the Dalvik VM and has so far not mentioned the Class Libraries, the Apache Harmony or OpenJDK.
