you&#x27;re finding it incoherent, because your reasoning (though interesting) is fundamentally untrue.<p>The only reason Google went with creating its own implementation was that ARM, Samsung, etc would not have worked with the licensing of Sun Java. This is fairly well documented and actually came out during document discovery. Today Android has so much market dominance that it can basically whip everyone into submission.<p>What I&#x27;m essentially saying is that at this point, it has already become much harder for something like a Wine for OSX to be created. Because developers will have to prove &quot;fair use&quot; in court... which is a huge huge intimidation stick. 
If Google and Android are finding it hard to prove fair-use defense - how easy it going to be for the rest of us.<p>Thought experiment - what would be Wine&#x27;s fair-use defense ?
