Back in the courtroom for Day 8! Larry Page is testifying.
-
-
Oracle: Is it true, sir, that you wanted Android to get to market as quickly as possible?
-
Page: I mean, yeah, generally you want to get things out sooner rather than later
-
Oracle asks if he remembers an email saying "if your company did not take a license... that they were going to make enemies along the way"
-
Page is explaining the timeline—when they were negotiating with Sun for their implementation—and Oracle interrupts. Alsup stops Oracle.
-
Page: I don't agree we copied code.
-
Oracle: Well, we're in this court and we've agreed 11,000 lines of code were copied, and
-
Page: For me, code is not declaring code. There's a widespread industry practice of using APIs.
-
Oracle interrupts again, and Alsup has to intervene again.
-
Now looking at an earnings call transcript from the second quarter of 2010.
-
(btw, Larry Page is VERY hard to hear)
-
Oracle: Do you agree that the investment in the Android platform was not material in terms of cost,
-
but that the return was formidable because you have an entire ecosystem exploding. Do you agree with that? Page: *waffles*
-
Looking at a Google presentation to BOD, saying "Our application and advertising services helped build Android into $43B / year ecosystem."
-
Page: I don't think these revenues are Google revenues. They're talking about the Android ecosystem, which includes carriers and [?].
-
Page: That doesn't do Google much good.
-
Another document. "Android is, quite simply, mind-boggling. 7000,000 phones are lit up everyday." Oracle: True?
-
Page: I mean, yeah, Android is open source. It has widespread distribution.
-
Oracle asks if he knows whether the Java code is in these Android phones. Page: I don't agree code includes declarations. Larrrrrryyyyyyy
-
Page begins to say something about using declaring code being necessary to use Java
-
Oracle asks if Page knows whether they licensed from Oracle. Page: Well, I'm not a lawyer, but
-
Larrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-
Oracle seems mindful of time / pretty frustrated with Page. Direct on Page is already over.
-
Google's cross. Cross begins with "So you didn't introduce yourself to the jury yet..."
-
So now Page is talking about his education, his family background, and the literal history of Google starting with 1998
-
Oracle: Your honor, I would just object that this is beyond the scope of the cross. Alsup agrees. [Because it is]
-
Google gives up, skips ahead to 2005. Google: Why did Google acquire Android?
-
As Page goes through background of getting software on phones, Oracle is objecting again on scope, Alsup says to stick to Android.
-
Page still going through Android history and Oracle objects yet again on scope.
-
Overruled this time.
