Bruce,
This is big news - has anyone checked to see if the agreement for the
OIN is
in perpetuity? Or is their agreement to not pursue patents only for
as long
as they are members?
I'm sure they would be estopped from enforcing a patent against someone
who relied on the assurance while they were a member, so I doubt this
distinction matters. Otherwise it becomes worthless.
Either way, we should consider, not considering that this is actually
news. Let us not be enticed by the opportunity that likely has strings
attached.
