Again, no company has an obligation to support its competition. It's not
their job. If you don't license to earn income, then why bother? MS is
clearly interested in deriving functions from products that are already
being made, so for them to accept a license after the fact makes total
sense.

I think Anthony will argue that when Apple stifles competition with
patents, that means they are simply making the product people want and
are generously removing the irritation of decision making from
potential customers. :)
