I am not the only one surprized by the silence (Oracle vs. Google)

A very interesting post from ZDNET is available here: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/the-deafening-silence-in-the-oracle-google-lawsuit/7176

I am not the only surprized by the lack of reactions of the open source community or some officials such as Linux foundation guys, open invention network or the free software foundation. Dana raised an interesting point about this complaint, this is not Java which has been released under GPL but more related to the mobile edition not available under an open source license, I am careful with my words as whether it is or not related to ME will be one of the points of debate between Google and Oracle.

Apparently Oracle and Google were already in discussion about a licensing arrangment, so this litigation may be just a step towards such a licensing deal between the two companies.
