I'm afraid you are stuck in the Java mind set.,

Don't tear your hair out. You never know if it
will grow back.

Just keep patiently explaining things as you
see them.

I agree with everything you say

so there is no need to tear your hair out (please don't)
(and we should agree which thread we want to continue this discussion instead of
spamming Groklaw)

I have replied more comprehensively above.

I agree it would not be sensible and everything would have to be redone and it
would be a big ugly mess (if you were a Java programmer)

Google chose to do what they did, they could have chosen to engineer from
scratch a new vocabulary instead of taking Harmony.

Google had their reasons for what they did, and I happen to agree with them and
that they needed no license to implement a compatible library that used the same
names that wasn't called Java.

I am only trying to put the facts straight on compatibility, the SSO, and what
can and cant be done.
