I had a question along those lines come up recently where I work. Someone had heard a little about the lawsuit and asked if there was a concern that Oracle was suing organizations that used Java. The person I spoke with admitted that they knew almost nothing about the issue, just that Google used Java and got sued; and since we use Java in some cases could it mean that we were open to the possibility of being sued by Oracle.

Although vanishingly unlikely, I don't think this is a bad question. You'd have to be big enough to somehow threaten Oracle. Not many companies fit that bill.
