- Daniel14 15y agoIt wouldn't make me, because you can't just buy changes of the law, not even in the US. Three billion dollars is a lot, but will never match what other big companies stand to lose from software patents becoming less important. This is the worst possible outcome for Google and the open source community. Apple, MS, Sony and others will be able to sue everyone - but not each other. And after laying that amount of cash on the table, they will. Google is right to be pissed off, but they can't do much about it.
