Your recognition of the Open Invention Network is exactly the direction of
my thinking with the precious post, but in a sense it falls short of what I was
hoping for.
The OIN isn't yyet assertive enough or active enough to act as an effective
deterrent.
Worse, if you read this piece:-
http://www.osnews.com/story/23884/Oracle_Google_and_the_Open_Inven
tion_Network
You will discover that both Google and Oracle are in fact member of OIN,
and that Oracle's action against Google circumvents the stipulations of the
OIN where members are required to not assert patents against others. To
go back to my analogy, NATO made no distinction between external or
internal threats. If you were a threat, you would be dealt with: it is this
spirit
that we need.
So yes, by all means let's have a flourishing and vibrant OIN, but let's
ensure that it's active. Let's see *all* members of OIN isolate Oracle until
this aggression stops. And if Google stole code, let's see Google isolated
until they put that right, too. The important thing is to put a stop to these
pointless legal skirmishes, since they add no value and at the moment
they are harmin innovation.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
