Larry Ellison In Court: I don't know if Java is free

U.S District Court in San Francisco, courtroom 8 on Tuesday was Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's response to a question regarding the status of the Java programming language, which the company bought from Sun in 2010.

Asked by Google's lead attorney Rober Van Next if the java language is free, Ellison was slow to respond to the question but slowly said his answer because Judge William Alsup pushed Ellison to give a yes or no answer. Ellison resisted, huffed and said, "I don't Know." 

Java is free but also has a set of licenses that are required for specific use cases.
