A little interesting history
Authored by: dio gratia on Saturday, August 25 2012 @ 12:14 AM EDT
The book cited in Google’s brief, Interfaces on Trial 2.0, was accepted for publication by MIT Press in the fall of 2009, before Oracle completed its purchase of Sun Microsystems, and approximately a year before Oracle sued Google. As the book clearly indicates, much of it is based on articles I authored or co-authored prior to 2005, while I was a partner at Morrison & Foerster, the firm that now represents Oracle in this litigation. Several of my co-authors were also Morrison & Foerster lawyers.

The book advances the same policy perspective as the first volume, Interfaces on Trial, which was published in 1995, when I was a partner at Morrison & Foerster. In the Acknowledgements section of that volume, we thank Michael Jacobs (the Morrison & Foerster partner who signed the Oracle filing) and several other then-Morrison & Foerster partners for their contribution to our understanding of copyright law. Both books are available for free download at http://www.policybandwidth.com/interfaces-2-0.

The original edition is a bit on the large side and demonstrates the noted acknowledgements.
