Agreed ... however this is the age of lawyers, and they work for the vendors for the purpoe of strongarming future contracts. You end up with a vendor who decides to use proprietary stuff and if you want to in any way reproduce that functionality, you and the vendor who did so for you ends up in court. It's a major problem in technology these days with patent trolls on top of all that.So wouldn't surprise me if the decision was made to avoid those costs and buy more cars for the money allocated. Things ain't at all the way they used to be, and idiot judges don't understand the concept of "essential patents" nor "standards-essential patents" anymore. :( |
