Well considering how Google and other companies such as VMware tend to trample over open-source software and monkey about with it, I'm not surprised that Oracle is suing Google over Android. It's funny how no one complained about Sun suing Microsoft over Java, but now that it's Oracle suing Google, people go bananas. Hate to break it to the pro-open source crowd, but Google is not your friend to begin with. Google patents things left and right to protect its IP as well, so don't confuse Google with tree-hugging open source crowds. They are a corporation like any other, looking for profits.
