"I'm not sure why we're talking about stealing and theft, everyone knew what was going on."

"All companies have internal debate. Sure, you can cherry-pick emails."

Says the people leading the companies ultimately came to the conclusion it *was* fair use.

Which isn't quite right. They came to the conclusion APIs aren't copyrightable.

"A 'shortcut' took five years to get this product out. 'Shortcut'? You heard about all the time and effort it took to build Android."

"The industry testimony you heard from virtually every witness that's a programmer ... programmers have viewed the APIs as free and open."

Why. In. Deed.

Hammering on how API labels were "intended to be used." "They are used to call on implementing code."
-
"They're to make the language itself more effective."
