This is a huge win for open source if Google is going to build on OpenJDK. The implicit patent grants are huge! They can even pour resources into building a better GPL'd run time. So much of Google's internals are written in Java that they would certainly benefit from this. Looks like another LibreOffice/OpenOffice Jenkins/Hudson split in the making. You'd think Oracle would have learned by now. I wonder if they'll fork the Java language standard? That would seriously damage Oracle if it got traction. They couldn't use Oracle's trademarks but people are familiar enough now with Dalvik that they could just introduce Dalvik Server Edition and people would lap it up.
