They use it extensively at Google and they also could've had total control over the language for Android. They could've just sold off the other parts of Sun later. Oh well, maybe Oracle wants to sell it now since they realized they can't make billions off it.

Actually Oracle has done a lot with Java too but this latest thing just wow, at least the courts came out with a logical decision.
