The real danger is if Cloudflare is threatened and on life support - does their culture maintain or what if it changes hands or fails completely and it's patent portfolio is acquired by litigious trolls.
- creeble 3y agoAs happened to Caspian Networks in the current case. There is no resolution to the troll problem if you just keep playing the same game. So I’m not sure why we congratulate companies for “taking down trolls” when their own patent portfolio will (just as likely as not) add to the troll problem of the future. Would Project Jengo pay me if I could show prior art for CNAAME flattening? No, because it’s their patent.
