Uber was right to cave. Google is not a litigious company, and would not have sued unless Uber had behaved really badly.

- pavlov 9y agoIt doesn’t make sense to apply anthropomorphized motivations to giant corporations. Google’s IPR management is not that different from the others. They will litigate if it’s to their advantage. Maybe the reason Google hasn’t been suing much until now is that they’ve largely been on the borrowing end of the deal (cf. Android’s debt to Sun and Apple).
- jacksmith21006 9y agoJust not Google's approach to sue others. Think in this case just too much too let it go. You can see it elsewhere with all the research papers and open sourcing so much software. I mean OS K8s was a little nuts, imo.
