Happy as Larry: Why Oracle won the Google Java Android case

The Register reported here in 2016:

Java SE is free for what Oracle defines as “general purpose computing” – devices that in the words of its licence cover desktops, notebooks, smartphones and tablets. It is not free for what Oracle’s licence defines as “specialized embedded computers used in intelligent systems”, which Oracle further defines as – among other things – mobile phones, handheld devices, networking switches and Blu-Ray players. [emphasis added]

Seems even El Reg can't draw the line between "smartphones" and "mobile phones".
