Huh .. so why doesn't Google just release their Android Java runtime under the GPL? Seems like an easy win all the way around?

I thought the OpenJDK people needed certain concessions to release their VM under the GPL?

Supposedly, they are switching to OpenJDK. But that doesn't erase their past infringement.
