When you have mountains of code already out there being used by
real users. To move and THEN MIGRATE all that to something else.
Would take a really long time before it could be done.
Then, folks would also look at the cost of it, LABOR would be
really expensive to even think about writing all the code new
again. So, their bean counters would then look at the license
cost vs writing everything from scratch, and guess what would be
cheaper. So, they would most likely stay with, and gladly pay
for the cheaper license vs the huge cost and TIME it would take
before they could even start to test their new "other language"
code against their existing JAVA based install.

Remember the whole list of "licensees" mentioned in this case
almost from the start, where it seems that Google is the only one
that elected not to license (their cat that fully left the bag)?
IBM and others (a long list) HAVE a license (maybe from early on,
before JAVA was licensed under the free license), I don't know
how long. But, they are seen by Oracle, those other licensees,
and their customers, as cows that Oracle wants to milk again in
the future.
This Google direction, if others follow it, well...
that is the cat that they want put back in the bag.
Big cat, small bag.
Or, rather in the view of Oracle, a very big cow that they seem
to want to get back in their very small barn.
