Jury to Decide Winner of Java Copyright Joust

Jury to Decide Winner of Java Copyright Joust: The Oracle and Google legal teams delivered their closing arguments Monday in the high-profile trial over allegations Google violated Oracle's copyright on Java, and the case was sent to the jury. Oracle's argument, presented by attorney Michael Jacobs, is that Google knew it needed a license for Java and ultimately opted not to get one. Google attorney Robert Van Nest took pains to emphasize that the original owner of the copyrights, Sun Microsystems, approved of Google's use of the Java code. The only reason Oracle is suing Google, he maintained, is because it couldn't develop its own smartphone strategy.
