I spoke with Julie Samuels, Staff Attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation who focuses on patents, who points out that in some cases certain companies will sell their patents to other parties when they’re under financial stress. But Apple clearly doesn’t fall into that bucket.

If Apple were deliberately aiding Digitude, Samuels says “it would be horrifying — the patent troll problem is completely out of control. Apple has every legal right to sue over its patents, but it should be the one to do it”.
I wonder if Julie Samuels is equally horrified at Google giving patents to HTC to help it sue Apple, or if Google is still immune from all critisicm from the OSS community. Google has every right to sue over its patents, but shouldn't it be the one to do it? And I don't think Google is under financial stress either.
