I wonder what Upshot data code submission looked like? If they submitted just the mobile app, then all that Salesforce got out of it was a Webview + Mic integration, but if Salesforce actually got the NLP code (doubt it)...paying $1mil would have been worth all of this nonsense.

The right thing to do would be to ask Upshot to submit ALL their code and add it to Salesforce.com. I think most of the other participants would consider that fair justice.
