No, there are actual pieces of software they've released alongside the patents. It's a thing. Look it up.

You can't really bothsides this, that's not how this works.

I guess on one thing you were right, which is that we can choose to not interact.

I only know of fonttik and iris but neither of those are in the patent pledge. Those were actually open sourced, so Im guessing there isnt much need for it, but everything since has gone through lawyers from what I know.

I'll admit though, I haven't read through all their patents. I'll be happy to be proved wrong.
