As an open source advocate, I want ALL this patent nonsense to be done away with. Software patents should never have been granted to be begin with. No less than Benjamin Franklin spoke on the possible abuses of patents that were never practical or useful. I think he was much more of an authority on patents, & certainly inventions, than Apple or anybody here.
If Apple should lose billions because competitors return the favor & ‘steal’ from them like they have built their business on, then so be it. If they go bankrupt in the process & thousands lose their jobs in the process. I won’t shed a tear.
It was Steve Jobs & Apple that started this theft train with Xerox Park. Only one memeber of the Xerox team tried to defend Apple & Steve Jobs. The rest of the team said it was theft period. And now you ask me to not justify bad behavior with bad behavior? Wrong one to try & convince fella. I don’t care how much Apple loses or suffers from their claims of theft or stolen IP. The more they suffer the merrier in my view.
