Guido was working at Google and he (I understand) try to "fix" the problem. He was told to back off and when asked about it during one of the PyCons the reply was "it was political" not technical.

Moreover it wasn't just that he answered but also how he answered. One could tell he was upset by it, you could hear it in his voice.

Even more interesting is what the Android guys had to say about getting newer versions of Java. The tone is very suspect and it almost sounds like they are considering another language. Perhaps that's just me reading into it.

I saw the talk. Guido's answer and tone is characterized correctly.

They're relating their own experience. They are a their own source.
