I certainly hope Choker works out something with the existing defense group, Acacia probably saw from the git'go that this industry was balkanized to the extend it couldn't make a united stand against it and that's why it focused on us first.

My take on this is that Acacia is just one of many threats to the open standards we've benefited from on the Web. There'll be others down the road and there others that are watching right now to see exactly how we respond before they move in with their claims to a peice of the pie.

Remember, the saying is not "there are good reasons to split up at times", it's

"United we stand, divided we fall".
