There goes the idea that Google purchased those patents simply for defensive
reasons. They are doing much what Apple is doing - going after those whom
the believe used their patented IP illegally.

If Google is right about this then, of course, Apple should be held
accountable.

Perhaps Snit or somebody else can explain to me the concept of "patents
simply for defensive reasons"?

I had rather assumed that the term meant "We won't sue anybody over them,
unless *they* sue *us* over some of *their* patents".

Conceptually, I had equated this to the U.S. using its nuclear arsenal only
for "defensive reasons".

TIA
