Oracle purchased Java (and MySQL) 2 years after Google made Android a huge success, specifically for litigation purposes.
It's not like Oracle designed Java, and then Google stole it. Java was supposed to be open. It was designed for this intent. Oracle bought it to destroy everything Java was supposed to be, and to prey on anyone who used Java for what it was designed to do.
When you can no longer innovate, you litigate.
