Sun's implementation of Java is available in an open source form known as 
"OpenJDK", licensed under GPLv2.  Had Googled used that instead of Apache 
harmony and Dalvik they would have received both the patent licenses implicit 
in the GPLv2 and access to the TCK in order to comply with the specification 
copyright licenses.
