Top 5 companies asserting IP against Android are collectively worth $734 billion

So, the idea behind this article is that Google's supposed disregard for IP is the reason that major players are suing them and their partners? I don't see how that follows. Are we to assume that if Google was a perfect citizen and 100% complied with IP, these companies would not be suing them anyway and just pat Google on the back for doing a good job? (Not to mention that the eBay/PayPal suit is only tangentially related to Android)

I think the fact that major players are suing Android just is another sign of its crazy success and the fact that Google is a relative newcomer to the field. Also I'd really like to know why Florian keeps publishing weird, illogical attacks on Android.

Traveling upstream in the "lawsuit gradient" might just be an excellent way for Google to find important new places to innovate.
