Why Aren't the Linux Users Protesting Google Acquiring Motorola Patents?

So why is it ok for Google to take over Motorola's phone division
but when Microsoft does it you attack?

Looks like hypocritical freetardery at it's best!

Actually, yet another flatline nym, unlike Microsoft and Apple, Google
has never made use of patent extortion or patent trolling.

Now I'll leave you to figure out why Linux advocates aren't angry at
Google for their *defensive* patent buying. (I expect great things from
you, boy-nym -- even you should be able to figure this one out.)

Oh, BTW, adios.
