Superficially, Oracle can't wreck Linux since they sell an

they'd like more people to use it.
It's not about Oracle wrecking everyone, but companies that originally
developed some API wrecking those that reimplemented it. Especially the
Wine or ReactOS projects are "good" candidates for this (as Samba and
Mono cooperate more or less with Microsoft I don't see that much
problems for them).
But if Google fight all the way to the USA Supreme Court and lose, it
will constitute a precedent: whatever Oracle's intentions.
