Google last Friday was compelled by the court hearing Oracle's patent and copyright suit over Google's alleged misuse of Java in Android to re-file a June 6 letter to the court complaining about how much Oracle thinks it's owed for Google's alleged lèse majesté on the record and not redacted.
Well, after Google erased the heavy redactions that Oracle objected to claiming Google was trying to hide information that isn't even confidential, let alone sensitive, like exactly how much Oracle's expert thinks Google should pay for its sin if convicted, the number turns out to be somewhere between $1.4 billion and $6.1 billion, a pretty ritzy neighborhood.

And that, boys and girls, may be before trebling for willful infringement.
It also turns out that the licensing deal that Sun had proposed and that Google rejected added up to $60 million over three years plus a maximum $25 million a year in revenue sharing.
