My experience with Google is much more recent and by that time Google actively used Java, both in existing and in the new projects.
As for harrasment: case between Google and Oracle is about money between two giant corporations. Despite how it was often represented in media, it was not battle between "good Google" and "greedy Oracle" about Java. And actually didn't presented any danger to Java. Anyway, the battle is over.
As for other cases, I really don't care. From the moment when Oracle made Java open source, their behavior is largely irrelevant - Java will survive regardless from Oracle actions.

Businesses need to get paid for their (commercial) support but the dynamics of how they ensure that they get paid should give one reason for pause.
