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.
And, for instance, GAE?
Yeah, that would seem like a target as well...
