Submission + - Educause asks Blackboard to drop patent suit

toaster-repair writes: "Inside Higher Ed is reporting that Educause, leaders in higher education, recently sent a very strongly worded letter to Blackboard, encouraging them to drop their patent lawsuit against desire2Learn.

Their anger over the law suit is so intense that many are simply not communicating with Blackboard."
