You could argue that the source code is an implementation. Anyway the point is rather irrelevent, you aren't going to sue anonymous contributer100. You are going to sue, or threaten to sue, companies who propose using opensource platforms f

Yes sorry, however the point remains. It's perfectly legitimate (and common) for a patent holder to sue a single strategic competitor while leaving a larger player alone. An impartial (commercial) industry body could decide to sue only FOSS

The patent holder can also decide not to bother MS/Apple/etc, and only prosecute open source implementations. The patent holder could be bought by MS/Apple/etc Unlike copyright there is no requirement to assiduously defend a patent.

It's the only part of an interview with Dropbox that would be interesting. I have a business plan where I send out a dollar free to anyone who logs onto my site. With $5M of funding from YC I think I could also get 4million 'customers' As i

They used to have a better paywall where Google's spider could see the results to index but if you went there - even from Google's cache you couldn't. I suspect Google cracked down on this so they had to unblock the results. The block is in

Stackoverflow vs codeproject would be more interesting. Although I use SO daily and have 20k rep, CodeProject is still better for posting, supporting and asking question on specific code. It would be a shame if SO destroyed CodeProject. Esp
