It is standard practice to sue the big fish first before suing any
other infringers. Again, Eolas is currently playing fair. Whether or
not we like, they did get the patent and are allowed to enforce it.

It is not and it was never about protecting intellectual

to earn money.

Since there's nothing we can do about it, we just have to use the
workaround and hope that Eolas goes belly up.
Alternatively, you could get mad at the patent system instead and work
