On your conflation of Java and Java-the-language.
Nice try.

What can you possibly be basing that claim that JamaicaVM doesn't infringe on
the patents other than your "according to anyone" meaning that nobody
has filed suit or threatened to?
I notice on the Aica web site that their version 6 API documentation for the
java.lang package, as one example, is not only compatible with Oracle's, i.e.,
copies the SSO, but is a word for word copy of the Javadoc on Oracle's site. But
their product is "free for personal use", i.e., not a GPL derivative
of OpenJDK 6. How did they do that?
They have written their own VM, and as far as I can tell their own Java
compiler. But I don't see that they have written their own version of the Java
class libraries. Are they using Sun's sources? Or did they write their own?
Either way is problematic if Oracle decides to sue them, especially as they
would not have the money to defend themselves the way Google did. Or are they
paying Sun/Oracle a cut to not bother them and not make it public? Maybe this is
another example of Sun not considering such details of the Java implementation
as subject to protection.
Where are the details of their implementation that tell you that there is no
infringement on the obscure details that are involved with these patents?
