Further to this, if they really wanted to, SCC could even create a new incoroporated entity (e.g. HGLFTNOASHFWG, Pty. Ltd.[1]) to sell the patent to which would, of course, not be bound by any of the decisions of SCC. Even if it is essentially all the same people. Essentially this means that they have provided something to placate us, but which they can reverse at any point in the future should it fit a new corporate strategy. From a commercial view point it's quite reasonable, but from the GPL/development point of view it is essentially a useless gesture. From a PR point of view it's potentially even more damaging to SCC (depending on whether the wider geek/development community interprets it as an honest attempt to resolve the issue or an under-handed trick).
