Seems like nobody yet posted about it:

In short - Oracle sues Google for patent infringements, but some see it as if it is not Google that is targeted, more like market of mobile devices and open source software in general.

Any comments?

the means Oracle has chosen are extremely disruptive. The lawsuit essentially asserts Oracle's sole right over any Java technology, even if it doesn't use the Java trademarks. This calls into question the whole foundations of how the Java ecosystem has worked since Sun open sourced the code, and will certainly make anyone thinking of launching a project based on the Java codebase think twice if they can't write a check to Oracle up front.
Any comments?
