Oh boy! Is this real?

San Francisco Chronicle:

(08-12) 17:17 PDT Redwood Shores, Calif. (AP) --

Oracle Corp. said Thursday it has filed a patent and copyright-infringement lawsuit against Google Inc.

Oracle said in a statement that Google's Android system for mobile phones infringes on its patented Java technology.

This is the other shoe dropping in a story I reported 1221 days ago:

Here's an excerpt of a couple of comments from that post:

Re: Java: The Third Fork From Sun

Are you sure that it won't prevent ASF to release Harmony under the Harmony name without references to Java/JVM ?

As far as I understood it you are not granted patent licensing if you don't pass the JCK, so, I guess you are wrong in that statement.

I'm speculating that Sun will not make any patent actions against Harmony even though the letter of the spec allows them that option. The PR backlash for such a thing would be unbearable.

A precedence of this sort of a situation is the relationship between Microsoft and Mono.

Things may play out differently, though.

Is this the end of Java as we know it?
