Mike,

I think you are seeing IBM as being too "public spirited" in this whole =
equation. I guarantee you that IBM did a coast/ benefit analysis here. = "Cost?
Negligible." "Benefit, we piss off MS and sell more hardware and = services!"

  =3D=3D=3D
  IBM has pledged open access to key innovations covered by 500 IBM =
software
  patents to people and groups working on open source software. The =
pledge
  applies to any individual, community, or company working on or using =
software
  that meets the Open Source Initiative (OSI) definition of open source
  software.

  This is believed to be the largest pledge ever of patents of any kind =
and
  represents a major shift in the way IBM manages and deploys its =
intellectual
  property portfolio. That portfolio grew by more than 3,000 patents in =
2004. In
  fact, according to United States Patent and Trademark Office, IBM =
earned more
  U.S. patents than any other company for the 12th consecutive year. IBM =
had
  1,314 more patents than any other company. This marks the fourth =
consecutive
  year IBM has received more than 3,000 U.S. patents, and IBM remains =
the only
  company to receive more than 2,000 patents in one year.

  "True innovation leadership is about more than just the numbers of =
patents
  granted. It's about innovating to benefit customers, partners and =
society,"
  said Dr. John E. Kelly, IBM senior vice president, Technology and =
Intellectual
  Property. "Our pledge today is the beginning of a new era in how IBM =
will
  manage intellectual property.

  "This is not a one-time event," said Dr. Kelly. "While IBM will =
continue to
  demonstrate leadership in patent output, through measures such as =
today's
  pledge, we will increasingly use patents to encourage and protect =
global
  innovation and interoperability through open standards and we urge =
others to
  do so as well."

  Patents included in the pledge relate to many aspects of software =
innovation.
  Several of the patents cover dynamic linking processes for operating =
systems.
  Another is valuable to file-export protocols. The pledged patents =
cover a wide
  spectrum, including patents on operating systems, databases, methods =
for
  testing programming interfaces, and even cursive text recognition....
  =3D=3D=3D


  I wonder when Microsoft will begin to help global innovation in a =
similar
  manner, instead of stifling innovation as they have been doing for the =
past
  decade or so...
