well the way I see it is liek this:

the big players side up with acacia because what happens is all the small webmasters get left to fight the patents
the small guys dont have the money or resources or whatveer and they go down fighting - it leaves the big boys to make MORE $$ that the small webmasters once used to get.

basically it's just combing thru the industry and gettign rid of the "loose fluff'

the big players can afford the patents - so if it' going to knock off some of the competition - then why the hell wouldn't they sign?

personally i dont agree with this whole acaia / patent thing BUT I CAN see it from their (the big players')side - as a purely business point of view
And LETS NOT FORGET - they are in this biz to make $$ not friends
