Isn't part of the patent system, that one could license the said technology for a given price? It's really sad, that that the first step is not negotiation and revenue, but lawyering and "ban it to hell!".... I don't care who started it.
- alephnil 14y agoFor some sorts of copyright, that is the case, like for music. A company can legally deny another company a license to a patent or set an unreasonable price for it. Normally it is in a company's best interest to license the patent, but they are not legally required to do it.
