I love how everyone takes Google's side on this. If you read the claim, it is valid. Mobile Java has never been open source, only the desktop version is, and even that has some loop-holes.
We have been thinking this law suit was going to happen since Andriod came out: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/burnette/sungoogle-android-fight-overblown/469
but people shrugged it off because Sun didn't have the money to do anything about it. Well Oracle does, and something tells me that they wouldn't go after a big dog like Google without knowing they could win.
Here is a good article on how the creator of Java feels about the lawsuit (spoiler he is not surprised): http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Java-Creator-Gosling-Oracles-Android-Lawsuit-is-No-Surprise-272156/
