Thus letting Google go with their "I don't want to pay" attitude?!
It is not like Google is a poor startup trying to get some product out of the ground. Maybe they even have paid more to their layers as they would have paid in licenses.
If it was right for Microsoft, it should be for Google as well.
As for choosing Java or not, there are lots of areas in the industry right now where the JVM is the only game in town, as I mentioned in another thread.
The companies with money outside FOSS freebies, don't care about this.
