How 'bout some GPL'd Java code for *your* operating system?

"Oracle Corp. filed a lawsuit against Google Inc. on Thursday, alleging
that the Internet search giant has infringed on intellectual property
related to the Java software that Oracle acquired when it purchased Sun
Microsystems Inc."

Didn't Sun Microsystems release Java under the GPL?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! The GPL will relieve the world of evil software patents.
