Oracle Sues Google

So it has been a few days since the news hit the tubes. What's your opinion, /proggit/?

I think Android were stupid to use Java in the first place, and part of Google's conditions for purchasing them should have been a transition away from it.

Not that it matters, because the patents basically apply to any VM, but I don't think they would have sued if Google hadn't stiffed them by using Harmony and writing Dalvik.

Based on how fucked up these patent cases are, my guess is Oracle wins $500mil, Google pays them out of pocket, and the world keeps going as if nothing ever happened.
