God! What is up with all these stupid companies and people suing everybody for money! First the stupid European Union with their antitrust crap against Microsoft, then Nuvio Corp and their name bull crap against the Nuvifone, and now some guy who was okay with companies using his "amazing" invention for years and suddenly suing Apple for using it on their iPhone!
Honestly the EU had a fair point four years ago, but the crap they're (or we're) pulling lately is just stupid and has cost the EU almost all of the legal gravitas it might have had at some point. Now the concept of the EU suing someone is basically just a joke.
Still, I suppose MS wouldn't have brought about the "open source" initiatives it has without the EU harassing them, so I suppose it's not pointless.
The EU can suck it as well as those who want to sue other companies because their products/services have become dominant in popularity.
You accept Microsoft's terms when doing business with them no matter how shady they appear, then a couple of years down the line you notice how their software is dominant and you don't like how they aren't helping their competitors.

You have no-one to blame but yourselves.
