Judge: We heard the testimony of Mr. Bloch. I couldn't have told you the first thing about Java before this problem. I have done, and still do, a significant amount of programming in other languages. I've written blocks of code like rangeCheck a hundred times before. I could do it, you could do it. The idea that someone would copy that when they could do it themselves just as fast, it was an accident. There's no way you could say that was speeding them along to the marketplace. You're one of the best lawyers in America, how could you even make that kind of argument?

Oracle: I want to come back to rangeCheck.

Judge: rangeCheck! All it does is make sure the numbers you're inputting are within a range, and gives them some sort of exceptional treatment. That witness, when he said a high school student could do it--

Oracle: I'm not an expert on Java -- this is my second case on Java, but I'm not an expert, and I probably couldn't program that in six months. Let me come back to rangeCheck after I've reminded the Court about the test files.

These test files were created by decompiling the Oracle code -- Sun code. That was not an accident, and not something they did by mistake. They did it intentionally, and they did it for the purpose of saving money, or time, or both. You can't look at those decompiled files and say there's no meaning in that; it accelerated Android, that's why they did it.

[PJ: Let me remind everyone that the testimony was that a contractor, Noser, did it, and it did it contrary to specific instructions from Google.]

Let me come back to rangeCheck. Every time I talk about this, I feel like I'm either saying it's important or it's not important. That's a false dichotomy. No one can say it's a big thing. But it was something that was copied, and it was important to TimSort, which had a significant performance advantage. Now they could have done it a different way. If you take a nine-line copyrighted poem, and you pick it because it's available, and you publish it, and no one buys your anthology because of the poem, and you could have gotten another poem in five minutes, it's copyright infringement and you're entitled to infringer's profits.

Now, I accept that this is a much harder argument for rangeCheck than for the other files. My point is mostly a matter of principle, that I think we're entitled to make a case for infringer's profits. If I were just trying to do something tactical, like I'd take statutory damages for rangeCheck and infringer's profits for the other files, frankly I think the Court would think I was playing games. I think the case for infringer's profits on the decompiled files--

Judge: But where's the nexus?

Oracle: They were using this to test and produce Android!

A questão nao é nem driver mas sim a plataforma pois o linux vai ter que traduzir pra depois jogar na tela.

eu instalo em outro HD pra fazer isso. É triste mas é a verdade...

Se todas as outras áreas fazem exigências dessas, ta na hora da TI também fazer.

Se eu não me engano, apenas o Windows 7 Ultimate vem com o XP habilitado. Os demais "flavors" do Seven não ganham esse benefício (apesar de todas as versões virem com a máquina virtual). Foi uma p... jogada de marketing da Microsoft esse lance de vincular a cópia do XP a versão mais cara do Seven. Mas, dependendo do caso, acaba valendo a pena.
