Google Emails Come Back to Bite in Java Patent Case Over Android - Application Development - News & Reviews - eWeek.com:

However, new documents that have been made public from early hearings in the case suggest that Google may have pushed on with a Java strategy despite not having secured a license to use the technology in building Android.
