I think he has got a point, but we should better understand how precisely focused the patents are on Java and Java-like VMs (David pointed out the stuff about bytecode + native code mixed execution, which is covered by one of the patents, and if I understand well is also a feature of some JavaScript accelerators). If they have a broad focus, even CLR and LLVM could be attacked. Now, I think many of us think that this is pretty much a Oracle against Google thing, and the patents are instrumental. But one might wonder which potential risk there is for other stuff.
