Schwartz tries again with the API restaurant analogy. Different restaurants put hamburgers on the menu (API), then make their own burgers.

Google: "Was there ever a time when the Java APIs were considered proprietary to Sun?" Schwartz: No, never.

We keep stopping and starting on questions about Sun's responses to others reimplementing their APIs. Oracle objects, judge overrules.

Judge Alsup begrudgingly explains to the jury that APIs are copyrightable—the issue he got reversed on. "It comes to us as a given."

Google atty asks a question about GNU, and Schwartz explains the recursive acronym. Judge Alsup: "That doesn't make any sense to me."

Judge asks Schwartz to explain GNU "in 30 seconds." Schwartz starts explaining that "a very smart man started" and the judge cuts him off.

"Now you're giving a speech." Schwartz stops with the cadence of a man who has been asked to stop talking about free software before.

@slightlylate That's because to get RMS to burst through the wall, you don't say GNU. You *omit* GNU when saying "GNU/Linux".1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
