Google already got around Apple's pinch to zoom patent in JB

So it turns out that Apple's pinch to zoom is based on a stationary point with the other point(s) moving relative to it. Zooming in JB apparently uses two or more vectors (no point is treated as stationary) so Google has already worked around Apple's pinch to zoom patent in Android 4.1.

It'd be hard for Google to get around a patent that doesn't exist...

Apple doesn't have a patent on pinch to zoom.
