Apparently, somebody started a Facebook group supporting D2L’s offer to Blackboard to donate a million dollars to schools in return for Blackboard dropping the patent suit. Facebook groups have become a way for people to express their support for an idea or an initiative. This is something that wasn’t in fashion yet when the original patent fight started, and it adds a new way to gauge the popular sentiment at universities.
If you support D2L’s proposal, you might want to join the group.
