Somebody post cliffs please?

As for patent infringement, if someone indeed has patents on a certain technology it's a valid law suit, that's the way our system works. You can't just take someone's tech and start selling it if it's patented.

It's called "Prior art" and if that's the case there's nothing to worry about.
