I can’t reallly understand what you are trying to say.

But I think most people here would agree that running a company that does something useful is better than just sitting on patents and suing people for infringing on them.



I think the point would be that Microsoft certainly makes products for a profit. And let's be honest: they're pretty useful products.

At best, in their case, it's their side projects that we have issues with.


My point is that we disagree with a lot of founders. Now he wrote an article, he either has a point on that article or he doesn't. If we started to shun smart people for something they did or didn't do (he says, I bought the patents and I'm monetizing them in legal ways) a lot would be lost.
