I also think this is a broader shot across the bow for anyone who
tries to ship something JVM-like without using an Oracle JVM, paying
Oracle licensing, or basing their work on the OpenJDK and thus making it
all freely available.
For instance, anyone thinking of shipping a Harmony based JVM as part of
a commercial offering should take pause. IBM in particular licenses
Java from Sun/Oracle but also incorporates more and more code from
Harmony. IBM's Harmony usage has every appearance of heading towards
eventually cutting the licensing cord to Sun/Oracle -- and this suit
serves as a "don't you dare" notice from Oracle.
