Google: Oracle switched strategies to threaten Google, is this right? Catz: We sued Google. Google: You filed suit in August 2010?

Wait, what's the deal with the email? Google just said they have no more questions for Catz & Catz is excused
-
The heck!

Oracle calls Edward Streven as a witness.
-
but I wanted to hear more about the bat mitzvah
-
*Edward Screven. Chief Corporate Architect at Oracle.
-
Has worked at Oracle for ~30 years. Alsup: Wait, how old are you? Screven: I'll be 52 years old. Alsup: I would have thought he's 29.
-
Was involved in Oracle's decision to acquire Sun.
-
Screven was very much in favor of the acquisition.
-
Oracle: Were you in favor of the deal because it would give you a chance to sue Google? Google: Objection!
-
Screven says no, he was in favor because Java was very important to Oracle.
-
Screven testifying about the specification license, saying that the declaring code is the central part of the specification
-
Says the specification license allows developing apps that call the APIs, but that it also addresses independent implementations.
-
Note that in spec license, it says license is granted "under any applicable copyrights or patent rights it may have in the Specification"
-
*applicable* key word here
-
The spec license requires that the independent implementation pass the reqs of the TCK.
-
Screven: A clean room is when I'm intentionally trying not to rely on a specification.
-
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
-
Oracle's story re: interoperability is full of holes and I'm not sure the jury is seeing that.
-
Screven testifies that prior to acquisition, Oracle operated under Sun's specification license and had to take and pass the TCK test.
-
Screven says that the license to create independent implementation is premised on passing the TCK.
-
(Is Oracle saying Google fucked up by not making their implementation close enough to Sun-Oracle's?)
-
(wut)
-
Here is an interesting theoretical question. Is there copyrightable material of which there is no possibility of fair use?
-
if Google had deviated much much further from Java, is there no point Oracle can agree to fair use?
-
By "Java" I mean the Sun-Oracle implementation
-
Screven testifies that Apache Harmony has been discontinued. Screven: It's now in the attic.
-
Jury still alert but I think I just caught some attorneys nodding off in the gallery.

We're due for a coffee break, I think. Now we're talking about Classpath, so everyone who's playing the GNU drinking game gets to drink

Direct is over, now we're at a 15 min break.
