I don't think they've ever claimed such a thing.

The official position is that they're suing Google for infringing on a few
virtual machine patents.

The unofficial position (well, my interpretation anyway) is that Oracle
bought Sun for the sole purpose of suing Google with the hope of making
money. They are a business company and they couldn't care less about Java or
developers.
