Tangential, but was Fuschia the backup plan for Google if they lost the lawsuit to Oracle?

No, the backup plan was to switch the implementation of the Java core libraries from Apache Harmony to the already-GPLed OpenJDK.

I don’t see how it would help, the lawsuit was about the Java layer not the Linux kernel.

If you loose all your Apps and are starting again with Flutter/Dart you may as well replace the kernel too.

Except not even the Android folks are a big Flutter/Dart fans. You won't find them on Android SDK site.

It is a parallel business unit.
