What is the motivation for the Solicitor General to put out such a brief? Is he required for some reason to make statements about matters he does not understand? This brief repeatedly claims that programmer familiarity was the sole reason for copying the JDK APIs and completely rejects the fact that compatibility with existing libraries (such as Guava, apache commons) was a technical goal, on the absurd grounds that Android does not implement ALL of the JDK (e.g. java.awt, javax.swing).
