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- The trial is before a jury of 12 people in the U.S. District Court in San Francisco, is expected to last up to 10 weeks. Its objective is eastablish if Google has built its widely used by the Android software incorrectly, some of the technologies of Java, a programming platform that Sun Microsystems began developing 20 years ago.
- Oracle has acquired the rights to Java when it bought $ 7.3 billion for Sun in January 2010. Although Oracle has spent more money on other business, Ellison shows Java as the most valuable prize of the company.
- "Of all the things we bought, by far the most important thing I bought was from Java," boasted the typical bombastic style when he appeared for 80 minutes on the bench witnesses.
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.
