Traumwind - some more thoughts on RCS

Scripting News Another comment. Because there are no patents on any of this stuff, it's likely that Radio Community Server will become a universal architecture for Internet-based groupware apps. HailStorm, Groove and Liberty Alliance don't stand a chance. Too encumbered by crazy intellectual property constraints.

You can say about RCS what you want, but this rings true. Why else would anyone try to clone it?
I think what makes RCS so universal is not the technology or the concepts. Those have been around. It's the product and the userbase. Count's a lot.
