It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that Acacia was counting on this to go exactly as it is right now and that they are stronger for each "licensing agreement" they sign.... and settling with them while may be in the interests of the companies that do so, its definately not in the interest of anyone else in this business. in fact, trying to spin it as a positive thing is both insulting and offensive and is a little like making and selling ammunition to the army that is attacking you and saying "we just sell lead and gun powder while creating jobs and growing the economy, nothing more"
Lets not forget the possible negative costs industry wide of these "settlements" and how they come at the expense of everyone who has an interest in fighting and who knows who else.
