To everyone bashing Intellectual Ventures, the key here is that TerraPower is a spinoff. They are becoming independent of IV precisely because they don't want to be a patent troll.

Also one LOL of having Bill Gates fund your nuclear company is you end up with the biggest Windows cluster for simulations.
