"These rivals say State Street's patent is simply a clever marketing gimmick." Clever? ROFL To patent something you must reveal the intrinsic operation.

ARPAnet, and the Internetworking Protocol was developed to pass information between collaborators on the early systems projects. The 'internet' grew from that for the 'free and unencumbered exchange of information'. One can sell a service, or license the right to use information collected at some expense, or buy someone's picks - essentially pay for their labor. But education, online at least, should be free.
