What is the point about fragmentation?

Oracle now announces that

Oracle presented overwhelming evidence at trial that Google knew it would fragment and damage Java.

Even if that were true, fragmenting and damaging Java are not crimes, or even torts. The damage to Java, if any, has come from Oracle's suit.

Having said that, Google does seem to have pulled a fast one in getting a version of Java into phones without paying Sun or Oracle the J2ME license fees that they would like to have received. Sun's strategy of using openness as a way of promoting Java's popularity while simultaneously trying to retain the rights to collect licensing fees on J2ME has not worked out as they would have liked.

Oracle did it all for altruistic reasons

At least SOME of whom now NO LONGER TRUST java or oracle and are looking at
alternatives.

Thats the way to look after their interests.
