Yeah they have alternative/indirect motives based on their existing portfolio of revenue streams, but unlike JME og Windows, they do not charge a license fee directly from the next tier. This is why we can expect to see $100 phones and $200 tablets in the future. My issue is with your broad sweeping of "they", as with Microsoft and any other corporation with 20K+ employees, there are "evil" and "good" intentions going on depending on which water cooler you're around. The definition of good vs. evil depends on your own context and whether "good" is still going to give you and your family food on the table. That's what Sun struggled with and it's what Novell is currently struggling with. I still however find it less destructive to go the marketing route and pursue ad revenues than go the lawyer route and pursue ideas, which is all a patent really is. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
