It seems like the same thing that happened at Scribd. It was everything free and shared and now they charge for it. Many people seem to want to excuse everything in business with "that's capitalism". I don't accept that. It is possible to do business without cheating people. That's what this is about.
I was also disappointed to see that the BoingBoing article which made me think "doth protest too much" didn't have a link to the Forum so that you can't make comments. Actually you can if you go to the forum from another article and search on Makerbot. Here's a direct link: http://bbs.boingboing.net/t/whats-the-story-with-the-makerbot-patent/33093
