Ok, vacation is over. Let's get back to work!
Besides Stephen Downes, there are more interesting weblogs that I would encourage anyone to read also. One of them is Michael Feldstein's. Yesterday he gave a very interesting twist to the whole Blackboard patent discussion. Check e-Literate: Patents and IMS Common Cartridge: "I’m afraid that recent history with technology patents shows that it is not so easy for standards bodies to protect themselves from abuse by aggressive patent holders. (..) How confident can we be that Rob Abel is right and that the IMS isn’t being “gamed” to encourage vendors to adopt technologies that will infringe on somebody’s patent?"
Again some more proof that this discussion is in no way over, or can be discarded. So, what will be most interesting is what Blackboard's next moves will be.
