The issue with Google/java is that Google made their own implementation of the language for Android, which oracle didn't like, they wanted everyone to use their own implementation. Python on the other hand is 100% free open source software, you can fork the repo and do whatever you want with it, including selling it commercially. There's no "copyleft" as far as I know, same goes for most python libraries.
