Google Android<\/p><\/div>\n

Google Inc., whose Android software runs on more than 300 million mobile devices, denied stealing Oracle Corp.\u2019 technology to develop the program.<\/p>\n

Google outlined a defense today in federal court in San Francisco against Oracle\u2019s allegations of copyright and patent infringement. Oracle, the largest maker of database software, is seeking $1 billion in damages and a court order blocking Google from distributing Android unless it takes a license.<\/p>\n

Oracle\u2019s lawyer told the jury yesterday that Google knew as far back as 2005 it had to license the Java programming language, now owned by Oracle, to develop Android.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoogle didn\u2019t need a license to use the Java language in Android,\u201d Robert Van Nest, an attorney for Google, said today in federal court in San Francisco on the second day of an eight- week trial.<\/p>\n

Oracle Chief Executive Officer Larry Ellison will testify at the trial, the Redwood City, California-based company said in a filing yesterday. Oracle also said it plans to call Mountain View, California-based Google\u2019s CEO, Larry Page.<\/p>\n

Michael Jacobs, an attorney for Oracle, yesterday showed the jury e-mails he said outlined how Google executives knew the company had to license Java technology and then tried to hide evidence of Java code in Android.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy proposal is that we take a license,\u201d Andy Rubin, a Google senior vice president, said in an October 2005 e-mail to Page shown to the jury. Rubin said Google would have to pay for the license, the e-mail said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Give Back\u2019<\/p>\n

A Google engineer, Tim Lindholm, said in a February 2006 e- mail that the company was in negotiations for a Java license. Google didn\u2019t agree to the terms of a type of license that allows companies to use Java code and write new code on top of it which \u201cyou have to give back to the open-source community,\u201d Jacobs said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t keep it for yourself,\u201d the Oracle lawyer said. \u201cThey broke the basic rules of the Java programming community.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another e-mail shown to the jury, one Google executive tells another to \u201cscrub out a few more Js\u201d from Android code. The \u201cJ\u201d stood for Java, Jacobs said.<\/p>\n

Oracle also alleges that Google infringed two Java patents that a court-appointed expert estimated are worth $2.8 million in damages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
