Nigerian Company Sues OLPC

Posted by kdawson on from the split-shift-key dept.

d0ida writes on the continuing troubles at the OLPC Association. Adding to the recent difficulties — the BBC has picked up the litany — a US-based, Nigerian-owned company has now filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against OLPC. Lagos Analysis Corp. claims that OLPC "made unauthorized use of LANCOR's multilingual keyboard technology invention in XO laptops." The suit was filed in Lagos.

    As I recall many sleepless nights, I wasn't "allowed" to use calculator. I sometimes tried to be honest, but most of the time, I wasn't. The point I am trying to make is that laptops are not necessary for elementary education. In some subjects it might hamper the growth of a student too. The pro's , if any, could be satisfied by having a computer lab. Similar to a library. The points in replies to my post haven't convinced me of a necessity , and no literature on the net I have read till now did. I still think it is a total waste of effort and goodwill.
