This has been going for years. Some little company was taken to court by CSIRO for infringing their patent or not paying the appropriate royalties a few cents per chip.
This company fought very hard and nearly won. Then MS got a sniff and all the other big companies decided to go CSIRO. It cost CSIRO over TEN MILLION DOLLARS to defend their patent. They won!
They are a bunch of pirates. If you steal from them they will evicerate you.
Makes you wonder about patenting anything. Have you got ten million dollars?
If I have a very bright idea I make it public on the web and other places. That way everybody can use it.
