I think it's important to think about what Google's goals for Android were, and ask whether those were in conflict with getting a Java license. In the trial I read that Sun wanted a lot of "control" over Java on Android with a license. Can anyone explain what that means exactly? Google's goal with Android, in part, is to provide an open and completely free mobile OS. Would that goal have been affected by the kind of control Sun wanted? Would we still have things like Cyanogenmod? Would progress on the OS in general be slowed? (I honestly don't know so I'm hoping someone can fill me in.)
