Reminds me of 1998, when Sun sued Microsoft over modifications on Java,
which turned up to be the equivalent of C# delegates and could be easily
implemented in Java but so far have not been included in Java (closures

I guess that if the Oracle patents are validated, Google wont be able
to use their "adapted" version of the JDK anymore because it will not
pass the TCK tests which is required to get the GPL patent grant.
Does that mean the end of the Google App Engi
