sqrl, first - thanks for the link to that blog post. It answers my questions and relieves me (mostly).
Second, I did not have any "disdain" regarding LWLG's omission from COBO. I just thought it a little "worrisome" and "ominous" if I remember what I wrote right. If I used poor words, oh well - oops.
And third, that worry had a lot to do with Microsoft and the hardball the company plays, which I learned from experience when I was a very early investor in Citrix Systems (when virtually no one knew of the company). Microsoft folded its arms suddenly and announced it wouldn't renew a license with Citrix, and THAT made news and crushed the stock price and nearly the company and THAT was Microsoft's intent. Well, luckily, Citrix really had the goods, and they knew it, and they survived the attempted lock-out. The four men who formed Citrix were all (at least as a group) kind of like a Michael Lebby; two of them for instance were the two guys who developed the OS operating system. So they really knew what they had and ALL of what it was worth, and they survived calling Microsoft's bluff and kaboom! Look at the historic stock charts. I made a bundle.
Some people keep writing here like Microsoft and Intel and Facebook and Google, etc. are all just fine with losing such a major technological development competition to Lebby & Co. and are jumping up and down with their hands raised saying I want to make a deal! Pick me! We don't care that we just lost those billions trying to develop what you did - congrats! We'll pay you all of whatever it's worth and let's go have some lemonade together!
Lebby's locking them out of a good game the best he can with the patent work, but I'm thinking it's still going to be as hard a game of hardball as it can be, getting business deals that reflect the full value of what Lebby & Co. have invented and are building into products.
My bet is that I'll have another kaboom! to be thrilled about, as you will, too, but to convey virtual certainty that such success is just X weeks away is a con job or delusional.
