    No. In the Supreme Court of the United States ORACLE AMERICA, INC., PETITIONER, v. UNITED STATES AND AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI R. REEVES ANDERSON ALLON KEDEM ARNOLD & PORTER Counsel of Record KAYE SCHOLER LLP CRAIG A. HOLMAN 1144 Fifteenth Street SALLY L. PEI Suite 3100 SEAN A. MIRSKI Denver, CO 80202 NATHANIEL E. CASTELLANO (303) 863-1000 ARNOLD & PORTER KAYE SCHOLER LLP 601 Massachusetts Ave., NW Washington, DC 20001 (202) 942-5000 [email protected] i QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Department of Defense structured its procurement for cloud-computing services, worth up to $10 billion, for award to a single bidder. Petitioner Oracle America, Inc. filed a bid protest, arguing that the single-bidder award violated federal law, which requires agencies to choose multiple bidders for contracts of this size and type. The Federal Circuit agreed with Oracle that the procurement violated federal law, yet declined to remand the issue to the agency as required by SEC v. Chenery Corp., 318 U.S. 80 (1943). Instead, the court applied its own “harmless error” exception to conclude that even if the agency were to conduct the procurement as a multiple-award solicitation, Oracle would not stand a better chance of winning the contract. During the bid protest, the Defense Department uncovered serious conflicts of interest between several of its employees and a leading bidder. The Federal Circuit acknowledged that one or more conflicts may have violated 18 U.S.C.

Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus GOOGLE LLC v. ORACLE AMERICA, INC. CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT No. 18–956. Argued October 7, 2020—Decided April 5, 2021 Oracle America, Inc., owns a copyright in Java SE, a computer platform that uses the popular Java computer programming language. In 2005, Google acquired Android and sought to build a new software platform for mobile devices. To allow the millions of programmers familiar with the Java programming language to work with its new Android plat- form, Google copied roughly 11,500 lines of code from the Java SE pro- gram. The copied lines are part of a tool called an Application Pro- gramming Interface (API). An API allows programmers to call upon prewritten computing tasks for use in their own programs. Over the course of protracted litigation, the lower courts have considered (1) whether Java SE’s owner could copyright the copied lines from the API, and (2) if so, whether Google’s copying constituted a permissible “fair use” of that material freeing Google from copyright liability. In the proceedings below, the Federal Circuit held that the copied lines are copyrightable.

  • Lookout! (V108)
    Crossing the Digital Divide (v108) “Lookout!” by Joseph Feigon for the Observer Scott McNealy is an American businessman. He is most famous for co-founding the computer technology company Sun Microsystems in 1982 along with Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy and Andy Bechtolsheim. Oracle Corporation (Larry Ellison’s database client) purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010. Mr. McNealy was one of the relative success stories in the early days of the Internet. Sun Microsystems built exceptional servers, and was a market leader with their Unix operating system as well as their corporate support of the Open Source movement, including Linux. Sun ‘cuda been’ a contender. Lookout was McNealy's inverted name for Outlook, Microsoft's e-mail client. McNealy says you need to "look out" for trouble when using Outlook. McNealy frequently cites Outlook's well documented security problems. He says that to get the most functionality out of Outlook you'll also need Microsoft's Exchange Server. But the combination, and the Microsoft- only mail and calendaring protocol required to connect them (MAPI), is yet another example of how Microsoft locks businesses into proprietary technologies that eliminate choice and flexibility. Microsoft is still here, Sun Microsystems is not. Proprietary software continues to dominate the retail customer (Windows, anyone?), as well as many big companies. Those success stories in the Open Source space build applications on an Operating System (Linux, BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) that is open, meaning, free to you and me. Open, as in, anyone with the desire and/or ability can review each line of coding that makes things work.
