Dragons_Blood,
1. Your post implies that makerbot will not use these patents to "profit by". Why have they not made a a public statement like that to clear up the confusion? There has been offers to help makebot protect themselves and the open source community at the same time with a RedHat like patent promise. http://www.redhat.com/footer/patent-promise.html
Apparently that is not something makerbot wants to do.
2. If makerbot only wants to protect itself from being locked out of using these designs is not a third option to put them in the public domain?
3. Are they playing good cop/bad cop? Letting their parent company do all the patent lawsuits. http://www.forbes.com/sites/rakeshsh...s-sued-afinia/ so historically it has been shown that makerbots new parent company will not just use patents for defense but also offense. We can only assume the same moving forward for makerbot.
Please explain to me how to...
