What was the point of saying that the size of the winning bid "echoes the sentiment" of a rant about Lodsys?
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoThe whole article was about "Software patents are bad". The Nortel auction was just one example of why patents are bad. Fred Wilson's comments were to back up that theme. Lodsys is just another example. Read it in that light, and things tie together much more smoothly. Whether it is good writing (e.g. effectively conveying a point) is questionable, since it obviously has cause confusion.
