I get the impression that Oracle's antics the last couple of months could have been moves done on behalf of Apple.
It's no secret that Larry and Steve were good friends, and purchasing Sun, just so Oracle could sue Google seems like something that could plausibly happen.
Similarly, Oracle suing a patent troll that was previously hounding Apple and their developers sounds just as likely.

- jrockway 14y agoIf Apple wanted to buy Sun's patents to sue Google, why didn't Apple just do it themselves? Jobs already declared "thermonuclear war" on Android, after all.
- regularfry 14y agoOracle wanted Java more than Apple wanted Sun's patents, at a guess, and Java+Patents in a friendly Oracle's hands doesn't do Apple any harm.
