Apple intervene as a defendent in Lodsys lawsuit

• UtestMe 15y ago
  What would you think they’re supposed to do, wait till all the devs succumb? Now as Apple’s a defendant, win or lose, it doesn’t matter.

  I'm surprised enough by this to say 'Way to go, Apple!' I don't often cheer for corporations, but Apple is actually sticking their neck out on this one, and I have to applaud them for that. I'm sure they have ulterior motives (developers might leave if they fear lawsuits) but Apple could easily have ignored this and gotten away with it, I think.

  I do not mean to be mean but past history has proven that FSOSSpatents is an astro-turf Lobbyist for Microsoft with at times many of its so-called expertise being somewhat wrong and devoid of factual basis.

    True, he's biased and HINAL. Still FOSS PATENTS does report the story first, so pretty hard to avoid sourcing it. Acquire facts, disregard opinion if you may.
