Oracle issued the following statement, attributable to Oracle spokesperson Deborah Hellinger: 

"SAP management has insisted for three and a half years of litigation that it knew nothing about SAP's own massive theft of Oracle's intellectual property.  Today, SAP has finally confessed it knew about the theft all along.  The evidence at trial will show that the SAP Board of Directors valued Oracle's copyrighted software so highly, they were willing to steal it rather than compete fairly."
