Most third party commercial Java vendors, selling JDKs for embedded development also have their own VMs and AOT compilers, with variations better suited for their hardware.

Aicas, PTG, IBM, MicroEJ, ....

Big difference with Google?

They play by the rules.

The rules as Oracle (and this ruling) sees them. Google and others disagree with Oracle about what the rules are or should be.
