Marrillion - we are not too far away, especially with TPL involved. Read the second paragraph carefully:

"it made the licensing terms much cheaper than actually fighting the lawsuit (even if one were to win), so nearly all of the companies sued sucked it up and settled".

Leckrone gave away the our patents as a carrot and charged for the CORE. Buy two, get one free and we won't sue.

Question: How could the BOD not know what the take was on every patent? Wouldn't they monitoir this from the first license? And if they did, why didn't they call a breach? Or am I just overlooking the obvious because this thing is msaking me braindead?
