“Apple has filed a motion to intervene in the patent infringement lawsuit that Lodsys slapped on seven iOS developers last Tuesday. The company maintained that its license for Lodsys patents allows developers to use in-app purchase APIs, and that it has a right to intervene since its licensed technology is at issue.”
Whether they are doing it for the good PR or for the greater good, kudos to Apple for standing behind their customers!
Of course we all hope they are doing it for purely benevolent reasons.
