content: Oracle didn't even own Java when Android was originally developed though, as stated in the article. The license agreement was MUCH different when they started using it vs. how it is now. Also, Sun microsystems sold in 2009, after not releasing a version update since 2006. Java 7 was already in the tank before Oracle (Sun had 3 years of working on it) got their grubby paws on the language, so what have they done for me lately? Oh right. Basically took 3 years to make Java more "Oracle friendly", and not much else. (And nothing since). Fuck Oracle.
