The article mentions that Google and others (Microsoft) got in on the same financing deal granting them similar licenses. RIM licensed the same portfolio this past March.

Anyone know why Google/MS/RIM haven't filed to intervene as well?

Perhaps because, in terms of dollars spent by users, the iOS market is by far the biggest ongoing concern.

I'm sure that, for RIM at least, the cost-benefit analysis is pretty prohibitive.

I'm guessing they're hoping Apple will bear the burden and pin down Lodsys.
