Apple Smackdown Coming?

Cult of Mac: “Patent troll Lodsys has been suing iOS indie developers for using Appleâ€ s own in-app purchasing mechanism. Sleazily, the company has claimed that they had no choice but to go after the little guy because Apple refused to cough up an App-Store-wide patent license.”

Apple could step in here and be a real knight in shining armor. They could offer to pay villainous scum Lodsys out of their 30% take from In App Purchase.

We’ll see.
