While this is nice, it's still a game of whack-a-mole. How much were the legal costs for CloudFlare to invalidate this one patent?

I'm glad they did this and they've certainly gained some goodwill from me for this altruistic move. Was that part of CloudFlare's motivation, use it as PR? Because otherwise, the economics still appear to be in favor of the trolls. This battle is won, but how goes the war?
