Oracle says Google uses Java illegally Google counters that Oracle began its suit only after renouncing the intelligent breed

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison admitted that he wanted to compete with Google's Android software in the smartphone market before deciding instead to sue his potential rival for breach of copyright and patents.

Ellison said the second day of a trial that looks at two related high-tech to face each other.

Ellison said that Oracle considers diversification beyond the heart of business software database and the purchase of a manufacturer of smart phones, including Palm and BlackBerry, Research in Motion .

place, Palm was acquired by Hewlett-Packard for about $ 1 billion (£ 628m) two years ago, while RIM is trying to recover losses mounting that accumulated as the BlackBerry been invaded by the Apple iPhone and Android phones.

"I had an idea that could compete with everyone in the smartphone business," Ellison said, when asked by counsel for Google. "It was an idea I wanted to explore . We explored and decided it was a bad idea. "

Ellison, who is among the richest people in the world, took place after Google searches opening remarks to frame the case as a response to Oracle's own failure to build mobile software.

Ellison told a full house in San Francisco federal Google was the only company he knew he had not taken one of three types of Java license, while others from Samsung had at Amazon. "Just because something is open source, does not mean you can do what you want with it," he said.

Ellison said that in 2010, tried to convince the then chief executive of Google, Eric Schmidt, Larry Page and current CEO to take on a new version of Java in Android, Android and more compatible with industry standards. These talks failed.

Google said it is not in violation of patents, Oracle and can not be certain parts of the copyright of Java.

Page There were other occasions during his testimony, however, when looked wrong. At some point, Google's lawyer, Robert Van Nest Ellison recalled all the good things he had to say about Android and Google, during an appearance on stage in 2009, when Oracle was still waiting regulatory approval to buy Sun

With Scott McNealy Sun co-founder Scott, standing beside him, Ellison had assured the crowd was excited and flattered by the dependence of Android in Java. Ellison praised his "friends" and Google said it expects many more mobile devices with Android.

Before Ellison, took the stand, Van Nest also tried to convince the jury that Sun Microsystems has encouraged and supported the use of Java on Google Android. This contrasts with opening statements Monday by Oracle attorney Michael Jacobs, who was on the e-mail messages indicating that Google executives had known for years to paid leave some parts of Java technology he helped create Android.
In his counterpoint Van Nest Tuesday, said that most e-mails cited by counsel were sent to Oracle in 2005 and 2006, when Google and Sun have been discussing a partnership to create Android.
