It's not reckless. It would have also prevented the SCO lawsuit against IBM. But we're not talking about the "little guy." We're talking about one company with large pockets suing an even bigger company hoping for a massive payday.

Hence the attempt to add Vista to the suit for a possible billion dollar payout. Unisys tried to do the same thing with the LZW compression method (gif, zip and pdf files all use this) lawsuits in the 1990's for something that was pretty much an open standard.

In general, loser pays would reduce the number of cases clogging the courts in all fields.
