@JohnVoter. Sun sued Microsoft over the very same issue: Microsoft was using their own code for their own Java Virtual Machine.

Google is using their own code for "Dalvik" which works like a Java Virtual Machine.

I imagine Google will be forced to use Java for Linux, as written by Sun/Oracle. Microsoft was never allowed to use their own code.
