“OOXML is power at ODF's expense and there are shell companies out there which can sue by proxy.”Many patent filings are claimed to be well-intentioned (defense purposes only), but when push comes to shove and a company implodes then it attacks using threats or even lawsuits (this was mentioned only yesterday in fact).
We ought to learn our lesson and disregard many of these pledges that are not a binding contracts. It is easy to lure in a sheep and have it enter the pen. Later on, the sheep cannot escape and promises are forgotten. It is human nature to take things for granted once power has been gained. OOXML is power at ODF's expense and there are shell companies out there which can sue by proxy. ⬆
