Google's use of Java in Android. I can't claim to know the exact details of how the company reacted to the lawsuit internally, but I will point suggestively at the fact that Google is still running most of their Java code in production and continues to write more, and their support for Java on Android stagnated at Java 8-ish and Kotlin is now heavily promoted as the language to write software for that platform.
