Fritz chip used for program licensing?

(1/1)

smokey:
According to m$ and everyone else working on the fritz chip it will not be used for program licensing however two people in the US found out ever way m$ and everyone else can use it to license apps and patented them all.

So now it would be illegal for m$ to use the fritz chip to license software  

btw. Im searching for the article I read this from

You forgot that Microsoft has a lot of money. And usually people who rush to patents are only looking to get rich. Microsoft would surely buy out the patents. As you know they bought GL patents and many other video patents from SGI recently. They do this all the time.

smokey:
Actually the reason why they patented this is to prevent m$ and others from doing that.

Actually, if this is all true, that would be beautiful. I hope you can find the article.
