Interoperability of programmers

Actually SUN did have a business with earning money on tools to make Java more
easy to develop with. I don't recall all the details, but there were good free
profilers and similar. Problem was just that they were a pain to find since Sun
actively refused to mention these on their hopepage in favor of the pay
alternatives.

You should read the Java license for the Oracle windows JVM

http://www.java.com/en/download/inc/windows_upgrade_xpi.jsp

The License says you need to pay for a separate license for certain commercial
use. Many companies that use Java to run their business applications do (or did
maybe) pay Sun/Oracle some form of license fee to use their solution. Now you
have other free options which means that there Sun/Oracle's Java license cash is
probably tanking. Time to cash in on Android!
