The patents discuss what could best be described not as Java the language but more or less Java the platform the JVM. Using "Go" instead of "*.java" still does not change the fact that Android is based on java. It may not be called java but without what java has built in the past its nothing. If nots java then why does it use the core java packages and other platform like concepts. Are we saying if you call it something else on the outside but copying everything else, its not "pirating" - if my friend copies microsoft office for me but writes MyFriendsOfficeSuite and does a bit of binary editing whereever "Microsoft" and "Office" appear and replaces them, its not a direct copy?
