It is lawyer repellant. If one is a small startup or indie team, use it. At scale where lawyers look, they will veto. Intentional outcome?

Uber, airbnb and Microsoft's lawyers didn't veto it and they're pretty "at scale" already.

Good for them. Or bad, if this means they have no IP of value :-P. I'm not outraged. I do think this is a mistake: bad PR, legal friction.

Microsoft is one of the biggest IP holder in the US & extract billions out of their patents on Android and more. Pretty sure they have value

They probably have their own IP agreement with Facebook.

So if you have no IP of value, you shouldn't worry and if you do have IP of value you probably have an agreement. Sounds like a non-issue.

Side agreements are black boxes and hard to come by. Do you grok reciprocity?

I've been told at least one of these big companies doesn't have any patent agreements with Facebook, probably more.

Literally don't know what we're arguing about anymore. Is there a path to "not a real issue" through every empirical reality for you?
