As far as I can tell, Oracle vs Google was due to Google not using OpenJDK, but their own implementation.
Moreover, their implementation didn’t work on standard compliand JVMs, and was called Java, despite being only similar to Java. Even Microsoft’s J++ worked on different JVMs if you didn’d use Windows specific classes...
