Re: wholly negative implications

You are being dishonest by omission.

Google implementation of the Java API doesn't contain any *Oracle* (really Sun) source code either. Any source code that was copied was copied from the Apache licensed Harmony project which was a *clean* *room* implementation. The Apache license expressly allows this. The only exception being the rangeCheck function and eight security files which were a copyright infringement.
