>> This is in effect what I believe that Rambus is doing. They have stated that they will not license to anyone who brings litigation against their patents. Very Old Testament of them, but I doubt if they would ever be able or even want to follow through on a threat like that. Their objective is to generate licensing revenue, not to destroy those who would pay it. And I think the courts would force them to license all manufacturers. I've seen a lot of these battles to the death in the semiconductor industry. In reality, they are more like WWF wrestling matches. uf
