Sun promoted Java to universities, etc, the point was to get as many people to use Java as possible

-
(pointing out how many employees their companies have, etc)
-
omg Eric Schmidt is the first witness today
-
hilariously, it's impossible for me to check my twitter mentions because the app is broken on android

Google lawyer explaining what the android platform is, begins by using Angry Birds as an example
-
You like Angry Birds, right? That's what Oracle hates. Angry Birds, and freedom.
-
Google lawyer running through all the components of Android, it's very complicated and that is the point- Java API packages are a tiny piece
-
Graph of lines of code at issue: a green disk representing all the code in Android, with a near invisible red sliver that is Java APIs
-
Larry Ellison acknowledged in depo that Java is free to use, no one owns it
-
Another Oracle witness said in depo that the APIs are an integral part of Java and they make Java Java
-
jfc I think both sides have brought LITERAL PHYSICAL FILE CABINETS as visual aids to explain what a API is
-
Google's has a big 8.5x11 printout propped up on it labeled "java.lang" and the top drawer is labeled "Math" in very big Arial Black letters
-
he literally opened the top drawer and pulled something out and waved it around to explain
-
now we're talking about GNU

-
Now we're talking about Apache Harmony
-
Harmony was a reimplementation of the same labels in question. So Google engineers thought it was fair to use the same declarations

Google says that emails where employees were freaked about licensing were in very old stages when they were going to use proprietary tech

In earlier stages, considering licensing implementing code, Java Virtual Machine, etc. None of that happened, the negotiations broke down.
-
Says Rubin emails are way out of context. This is going to be such an interesting trial.
-
Google lawyer's phone just went off.
-
Google says Java was declining not because of Android, but because Sun/Oracle were already stagnant in mobile market

-
Google lawyer says that Android is "just the kind of thing" that fair use was meant to promote. Closing over
