Honestly, for the few (basically zero) things that I can understand of business, Google might have done a big mistake, really. Sun was bought for $6/7M, right? If Oracle wins, that is they force a settle down, I could expect that Google will pay something in the magnitude of the $M, and they will have to share their future revenues on Android, which will be further $M in a few years, I suppose. In addition, they would have bought all the other assets, some of which could have been profitable for them, others could have been sold to recover some $M. Not to count all the stress that they could have avoided (to themselves and everybody else). And they could have consolidated their position in the FLOSS community by becoming the Java steward.
