Yes, SUN JAVA, not Google Dalvik. Android was using Sun licensed java in the early days, switched when google didn't like the licensing terms.

  No. Android was released with Dalvik in November 2007, when Schwartz's blog post was written. http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/110/ http://www.betaversion.org/~stefano/linotype/news/110/

    Blog post: Nov. 5 Google released dalvik: Nov. 12 So technically Schwartz could have been blindsided by Dalvik.

      I'm pretty sure Schwartz was aware of the fact that Google hadn't licence JavaME from them...

          Because it would have been a huge deal, the kind of thing they'd make press releases out of. To suggest that the board members of Sun would have been unaware of such a major deal is farcical.
