Take everything with at least a boulder of salt before turning to an emotional being.
- randomfool 13y agoBy invitation, was it "Join us in suing others, or we'll sue you?"
- grej 13y agoindeed. Sounds more like extorted than invited at first glance.
- mortale 13y agoThat is microsoft's story, however if I recall correctly, if google were to have bid with the others, the deal was structured such that they couldn't protect android partners. So the lawsuits against android would happen anyway with the difference being google sponsoring the patent trolling against its own android OEMs. But yeah, "invited".
