RIM Pays Off Wi-LAN To Get Rid Of Another Patent Suit

The sooner TPTB wake up and abolish pure software patenting the better.
For everyone.
Do you have reason to believe these patents have anything to do with
software?
With the cursory glance at the subject header I used, I'd say not much.
But then, that doesn't invalidate my statement.
