Google has had a possibility to pick the GPL-licensed IceTea
distribution and build on the top of that - GPL provides protection
against the software patents that are now involved in the lawsuit. Who
does not like that license and seeks something more proprietary always
risks to get more than he wants. I am really not ready to fight and
die for a company so careless. Java will be same as Microsoft for me
when Microsoft will release they .NET under GPL.
