Re: IBM/MS "tollbooth"
Rusty, I agree with you, except it may take a long time for that to shake out. Patents are like submarines, you could be out for a kayak trip enjoying the scenery, making friends with other kayakers, when all of a sudden a submarine surfaces and aims it's torpedos at you. "Cease and desist," says the captain of the submarine. Then what do you do? By all appearances, the W3C is in bed with patent abusers. It's time to warn the kayakers that the waters aren't necessarily as safe as they may appear. That message may be repeated every time someone says ".Net is kind of interesting" or "IBM is a leader in web services." It should appear as an asterisk next to their name. Warning: This company is building submarines with torpedos.
