independent implementations and want to distribute their products as Java-compliant need TCK licenses (see rows 5-6)"

Alsup is now explaining something to the jury about a stipulation and I think my coffee is cool enough to drink now so
-
Alsup explaining that the parties agree that 60+ packages were fair use, and that the trial is over the remainder 37.
-
Sorry, I think 62 classes? Someone correct me on this, I gotta drink this coffee
-
OK I got it hella wrong. 170 lines of code from 62 classes are technically necessary to use Java language.
-
The rest of the code is at issue re: fair use. That's it.

Someone in the gallery coughs. Alsup: Who's that coughing and hacking? Take this cough drop back there. PULLS OUT A COUGH DROP
-
Van Nest (named partner of Keker & Van Nest) passes the cough drop from Judge William Alsup to person in gallery

WHERE DID THAT COUGH DROP COME FROM

Oracle calls Mark Reinhold as their next witness.
-
Mark Reinhold was at Sun before he went to Oracle, he worked on the Java platform including API design.
-
Seems like Reinhold is Joshua Bloch's opposite number?
-
Reinhold is defining the Java platform right now.
-
Reinhold: The Java API packages are a collection of ready-to-use applications...
-
... provides ready functionality so developers don't have to write from scratch every time.
-
Reinhold saying that Java ME (Micro Edition, for flip phones) APIs contain same structure, sequence, and organization as SE.
-
Recall that Google's story is that Android "transformed" SE declaring code, and that SE—which is for desktop—cannot work with phones
-
So what Google saying is that the work being taken doesn't even compete in the same market Android.
-
Oracle, through Reinhold, is trying to say that it's the same damn thing because shares similarities to ME—which, again, runs on flip phones
-
Running through a very nice slideshow right now, once again we're looking at a slide with the full list of 37 API packages.
-
Oh no we're back to "let's try to explain APIs to the jury" again
-
current slide: "The Java API Package is Like a Book Series" with a picture of the entirety of the Harry Potter series
-
from file cabinets to hamburger menus to the harry potter series
-
Reinhold: Declaring code is source code that introduces an API element.... communicates to devs overall structure & organization of the API
-
I'm thinking again about Oracle's interoperability stance. Basically they want copyright law to make language environments unforkable.
-
On the one hand: This protects commercial business models.
-
On the other hand: The commercial business model, which insists Java the *language* is free, is based in *ubiquity.*
-
Yet it refuses to let the environment compete in a free market of forked environments. Ubiquity without proof of efficiency.
-
It's circular protectionism.
