ORACLE STATEMENT REGARDING J2SE 5.0 SPECIFICATION LICENSE (TX610.1)
CASE NO. CV 10-03561 WHA
pa-1526875

1

This morning, the Court asked the parties where the capitalized word “Specification” in

2

the Specification License (TX610.1) is defined. As the Court noted, the formal definition of

3

“Specification” is contained in the first line of the document:

4

Specification: JAVA 2 PLATFORM STANDARD EDITION
DEVELOPMENT KIT 5.0 Specification (“Specification”)

5

(TX610.1.)
6
Of particular relevance here, however, is that this is the Specification License for the
7
Java 2 SE 5.0 API “Specification”—the same API specification of which Google claims Android
8
is an implementation.
9
Sun and Oracle have included versions of this license in all releases of the Java API
10
Specification from 1996 to the present, including on the copyright notice page of the book
11
versions of the Java API Specification. See THE JAVA™ APPLICATION PROGRAMMING
12
INTERFACE, VOLUME 1: CORE PACKAGES (1996) (TX 980) at 6 (copyright page); THE JAVA™
13
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE, VOLUME 2: WINDOW TOOLKIT AND APPLETS (1996)
14
(TX 981) at 5 (copyright page).
15
Confirmation that the “Specification” referred to in the definitional language of the license
16
includes the API Specification may be seen most readily by examining the JDK 5.0
17
documentation. This documentation was submitted as TX 610.2. The documentation includes
18
the license agreement itself and also links to it from portions of the documentation. One of those
19
links is from the Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5.0 API Specification, which is also part of TX
20
610.2.
