Ellison is a huge douchebag, but Oracle probably has grounds for the lawsuit. Is Google willing to pony up a licensing fee for an OS that they're giving away for free?

Maybe it's because it's a Friday, but this caused less ruckus on the Android forums and mailing lists that I'm on than I expected.

On one mailing list, the thread generated a large number of responses, but that's only because it devolved into an argument about whether Java sucks or not.
