Start is good: Engineers should refuse to design according
to encumbered standards. They should refuse to participate
in standards bodies that allow encumbered standards.
The next sentence is wrong, though. It says something about
what engineers should seek out - standard bodies,
unencumbered standards, etc. Instead it should talk about
use of sticks and stones for the local subsistence economy
which will arise when said engineers will be fired.
For better or for worse there are plenty of engineers and
not enough vacancies and situation is becoming worse, not
better. Which means engineers are not calling the shots -
business managers are. And as long as patents are legal they
will insist on the for in a world where one party have
patents and other party does not first party always wins.
That's what this lawsuit is all about: Microsoft is trying
to reduce price of RAND patents to then sue everyone for
it's NON-RAND patents "violations" with impurity.
