Well except Google that got sued for US$8.8 Billion because they decided to use specific API signatures but provide their own implementation...?!

What Google did was similar what Microsoft did back in the days. Marketing something as Java, but wasn't Java.

It incredible how far the "Do not evil" marketing won the hearts of computing nerds, Google only got positive karma for doing with Android exactly what Microsoft did with J++.

To this day Android Java is not fully compatible with Java proper, and Kotlin became Google's version of C#.

Come on, that's a completely different story, Google made their own independent SDK using but incompatible with Java. Nobody's arguing you should do that.

Plus last time I checked Oracle lost that lawsuit.

... and Oracle lost

And the lesson is not to trust Oracle.
