On one hand, other Android based phone manufacturers are clearly going to face an uphill struggle if Google are going to release new versions of the OS on their own devices first.

On the other hand, it will hopefully provide some protection against being sued by Apple+Microsoft.

It doesn't help against Oracle though. If the OS goes what does it matter? Not that I think that will happen. More likely Google will be force to shell out some cash to Oracle.

I wouldn't be so sure. There is a chance that they can find a patent or two among the 24 thousand that they can use against Oracle.
