Dear Microsoft
Dear Microsoft
I will consider that you and Google have fully kissed and made up when you openly withdraw your allegations on the patents.
You claimed that software I and others wrote violated your patents. Are you big enough to withdraw your accusations?
To you that might seem like a cool sneaky little bit of business shenanigans - a nice little jostle between you and a competitor.
To the people involved in developing this software, it is a slap in the face. You say we are cheats that "steal" your ideas and are incapable of coming up with good ideas - that we must instead resort to stealing your ideas to be able to do anything useful.
So how about an apology to all the people with skin in this game? We can then consider this matter closed.
Yours Sincerely
Charles
