> But if they want to complain about others forming groups when it's legal

Do you really mean 'when', or 'if'?

The Novell patent group were restricted by the DoJ as to what they could do with those patents. This would indicate to me the original terms were not quite as legal as you make it out to be, and that this kind of thing can easily happen in the future (precedent has been set).

If forming groups wasn't (or isn't) legal, sue them.
