Oracle CEO Larry Ellison talks Google, Apple and the NSA (video)

(CBS News) Larry Ellison, America's third richest man and the CEO of tech giant Oracle, took aim at Google in a wide-ranging interview with Charlie Rose, calling out Google CEO Larry Page "specifically" for overseeing Google's decision to "take our [Oracle's] stuff."

Oracle produces a widely-used database that operates web systems from online banking platforms to airline reservation systems. The company is currently locked in a legal battle with Google, and Ellison maintains that the online search giant used Oracle programming language without permission.

"We don't compete with Google. We don't do anything Google does. We just think they took our stuff and that was wrong. That's a completely separate issue ... I think what they did was -- was-- absolutely evil," Ellison told Rose.

"Larry ... makes the decisions over there. He runs that company. ... And they decided, let me be very clear ... When you write a program for the android phone, you write it. You use the Oracle tool, Oracle Java tools, for everything. And at the very end, you press a button and said, 'Convert this to android format,'" Ellison said, explaining his issue with Google's android phone development process.

Ellison clarified that Page -- who is known for his personal slogan, "Don't Be Evil" -- "slipped up this one time" and said it was it was his actions, not necessarily Page himself, that were evil.

"This really bothers me," Ellison continued, "I don't know how he thinks you can just copy someone else's stuff. It really bothers me."
