I'm on the fence with patents... overall I think the response by Lodsys is reasonable and if their license fees are as the article states, then it should not be to much of a burden to developers.

My guess is Apple financially works out something with Lodsys so all iOS apps are extended a license.

And when 50 other trolls come out from under their bridges with equally vacuous patents, each demanding a "reasonable" half percent? Nope, the developers and/or Apple need to crush these guys and burn their village to the ground.

I have a hard time using reasonable in a sentence along with any company who's sole purpose is to buy up vague patents and sue or bully companies into licensing "their" technologies.

But that's just me.
