When it comes to the software lawsuit, I want to blame the old and greedy man named, Bill Gates. Search the internet how he made huge money when he introduced software licensing, patents, software copyright, etc. The major issue of a proprietary software is development path and the source code of the program is not open to the public. That means, a copyrighted software which you bought for $5,000 dollars may suddenly disappear and all support will no longer be available. Proprietary softwares blocks fast development and enhancement. Furthermore, it hinders huge innovations which other companies can do.

Who's the winner again? Yes, Apple Inc. But that doesn't mean that Samsung completely lose everything. As a matter of fact, Samsung only lost a fraction and the real losers are the iPhone consumers. We can not expect that the next release of iPhone/iPad is still considered a cutting edge technology because we know that other companies can make it better. I am not saying that Samsung products are way better than Apple. It's just very obvious that if everything is open source, the technological innovation could be two or three times faster than usual.

One more thing, since millions of patents and copyright are filed around the globe, these lead to lesser options available for consumers.
