Yahoo! Settles Patent Dispute

theodp writes "NCR has settled the lawsuit it brought against Yahoo! last December for infringing on 10 patents related to e-commerce technology. The case, discussed earlier on Slashdot, was especially significant because it involved broad patents covering basic Internet functions. As part of the settlement, Yahoo! is now licensing the technology. Terms of the settlement and licensing agreement were not disclosed."

    What would you rather have? What's more real? But I guess some of that legalese is thick enough to stop a tank gun!

    Won't happen. The US citizens cheer when they hear that some military member of the US has shot dead a couple of foreign persons, believing this means that they are free people and that they have made other people free people as well.

    In the meantime, they fail to see that they aren't free people themselves, and that the other people in the world don't appreaciate their efforts to free them.

    US citizens aren't free, they are the prisoners of the capitalist dictatorship that they are proud of. When they consider that freedom, they should allow other people their own perceived freedom under different dictatorships as well.
