Of course, the whole lot of them! I only wonder who they're
trying to attack here? It must be some sort of strategy to
put someone they deem dangerous off his stride. Probably the
open source community and / or a competitor. I don't know the
laws in the US and don't know how serious this is. It
probably can't just be ignored. Is there some other big
company they're trying to get at with this? Maybe they're
preparing a counter strike.
Yeah, IMO these patents can't be a coincidence.
Big companies file patents. All of them do. That's just the way
it is. I wouldn't see anything more to it than that. It's not
some conspiracy or corporate war.
That's the way the game is played. We just need to make sure we
don't become the losers here. It would help to have input from
Walter here though: It's his language, and, AFAIK, he also
happens to be savvy with this kind of stuff.
Their brand new type qualifier is the same as D's one. They even
copied the name "immutable". Maybe it's part of a strategy, maybe
not. In any case it's a "thief", I don't like this word because
you can't steal an idea, but they took ownership of it.
