No, they don't need to define General Purpose. They were predicting
Bilski and Mayo. If your system is patented it's obviously not
general purpose, and Oracle wants a cut of your patent revenue.

> I think an ARM system is 'General Purpose'.
It may be, or it may be an embedded system (such as a router).
However Android can and does run on: PC style machines, such as Intel or AMD
powered netbooks; ARM all-in-one systems; TVs or TV set-top boxes; tablet
computers; smartphones; cameras (actual cameras not just a camera on a phone);
and much else.
On my Android tablet I can write and run programs in various languages such as
Python and make it do almost anything that any other 'general purpose' machine
can do.
