I wouldn't call that good new (especially for us). It is actually violating Oracle's licensing to run OpenJDK on a mobile device.

Really?
It seems to me IcedTea6, and modern builds of OpenJDK are under GPL, in which case it should be perfectly legal to distribute it on any platform needed.

The problem is patents, which are covered in GPL 3 but not GPL 2 which OpenJDK uses. That is the basis for the whole Oracle/Google lawsuit.

[...]only Sun/Oracle's patent grant allows you to redistribute it, and as you know mobile devices are not included.

the only reason i'm waiting for this is to be able to use Salling Clicker remote in its java version, but it requires a network connection (it uses TCP).
