That's not Apple's MO, but anything is possible.

That's not Apple's MO, but anything is possible.
- schappim 11y agoSure it is. They licenced Microsoft's Exchange protocols.
- jonknee 11y agoLicensing from a fellow giant who will absolutely take you to court if you don't and repurposing the ideas of small indie developers are entirely different things.
- gyc 11y agoI could be wrong, but I don't think Apple has a history of violating patents from practicing small software developers. Seems like they're pretty much only sued by patent trolls.

- cowsandmilk 11y agoApple regularly licenses patents when it agrees they are valid. That doesn't make the news. Sometimes they disagree and that makes the news.
- comex 11y agoNot only does it not make the news, it's often confidential.
- madeofpalk 11y agoWhy not? They 'license' plenty of things without using their brand name publically, like Gorilla Glass
