Both Harmony and Google instruct developers to download the Oracle/Sun JDK from
the Oracle website. They don't instruct developers to go elsewhere.
The Oracle patent suit is about Google inciting developers to infringe on Oracle
patents.
The only way to get the Sun/Oracle JDK that Google incite developers to download
and use is from Sun/Oracle and under the Sun/Oracle licence.
If developers decide to do anything else, they are doing it under their own
volition and are not being incited by Google to do anything. Google are not
inciting patent infringement in that case.
IIRC there is a GNU Java compiler with the options of native code or Java byte
code. According to Oracle, its use might infringe on Oracle patents on
inventions used in their own Java environment. Best to get the free Oracle
licence to use the patents. As far as I can see, once you have done this, you
are licensed to use the inventions in the GNU environment.
In fact, best not to take a chance on Java, at all.
