This might be a question with an obvious answer.
Why is this (EOLAS) problem only occurring with IE an not with other
browsers?
Is the way IE embeds different to how other browsers handle the embed?
Nope, EOLAS plainly stated that they are doing it to hurt and take money
from MS, and that they will not be going after Mozilla (FireFox) even though
they knowingly violate the very same patent. MS has deep pockets, so when it
comes time to sue, they're the ones that take the brunt of it.
And no, there was no court order forcing MS to do this, but there was a
court order telling them to comply, either by paying for license or removing
the functionality. They chose to remove the functionality, which was the
right decision, no matter how painful it is for us developers.
