I think what I found most interesting is the suggestion that IBM are
to put their resources into OpenJDK rather than Apache Harmony now, as

Does this have any implications for Android, which as I understand it
uses the Harmony class libraries?
I'm neither optimistic or pessimistic. This move is making clear
Oracle's strategy, that there must be only a single open implementation
of Java, and it's OpenJDK. Thus the reluctant Google must be forced by
law to move Android under the OpenJDK umbrella. My full thought at the
moment is on my blog (sorry for the plug, it's just to avoid
duplications:

I'd stress the last quotation, from the Eclipse Foundation praising the
move.
