I don't think your average 'working programmer' knows or cares. Apache is just a web server and a source of weird libraries that duplicate each other (how many WSDL2Java implementations are really needed guys)? There are new programmers learning Java just because it exists on Android, and they don't care that it's not really Java, if they know it.
It'll take more than Google getting fined $100M to make a dent in Java, but don't fret, if anyone can do it Oracle will find a way.
