SAN FRANCISCO, April 24 (Reuters) – Google Executive

Chairman Eric Schmidt said in court on Tuesday that he could not

recall being told in 2005 that the company needed a license from

Sun Microsystems to use the Java programming language.

Schmidt was Oracle’s final witness before Oracle rested its

copyright case on Tuesday morning, and Google then called

Schmidt as its first defense witness.

Schmidt did not leave the stand during the changeover, and

his testimony was continuing.

Oracle sued Google in August 2010, saying

Google’s Android mobile operating system infringes its

copyrights and patents for the Java programming language.
