Did the Good Guys Win?
Is this patent pledge from Blackboard a victory for open source tools, or merely a ploy to appease the fine folks who are reviewing Blackboard's patent application?

Most likely a ploy. The people I know who work there don't paint the management as the compromising type. They certainly seem to have a very low opinion of open source.
