Can we see an example of big Java user being called by Oracle's lawyers? Excluding Google, they created their own Java with no regards to license, so yeah they got sued. So... did anyone that just downloaded Java and used it, got sued? I do not see it. Nor do I see what they could possibly be sued for.

You don't need a license to build a clone.. well, you didn't need one until recently thanks to Oracle. While not exactly the same thing, I'm still glad that IBM didn't pursue IBM-compatibles using oracle's absurd logic (or ford and other car manufactures for that matter). I like competition. > did anyone that just downloaded Java and used it, got sued? Perhaps not sued, just threatened into paying. See sibling posts for your anecdotes.
