Google: Java Alternatives “all suck”

“What we’ve actually been asked to do (by Larry and
Sergei) is to investigate what technical alternatives exist
to Java for Android and Chrome. We’ve been over a
bunch of these, and think they all suck. We concludethat we need to negotiate a license for Java under the
terms we need.”

Factor 1: Google Used the Java APIsfor Commercial Reasons

nature of the accused use must be considered. In this case, all agree
that Google’s accused use was commercial in nature but disagree over
the extent.”

Factor 1: Google’s Use of the Java API PackagesWas Not Transformative
Jury Instruction 24 at p. 13
1 The purpose and character of the use, including whether such useis of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
“A use is transformative if it adds something new, with a further purpose
or different character, altering the first use with new expression,meaning or message rather than merely superseding the objects of the
original creation. New works have been found transformative when they
use copyrighted material for purposes distinct from the purpose of the
original material.”

“What we’ve actually been asked to do (by Larry and
Sergei) is to investigate what technical alternatives exist
to Java for Android and Chrome. We’ve been over a
bunch of these, and think they all suck. We conclude
that we need to negotiate a license for Java under the
terms we need.”
