Hey all, Does anyone on this list have access to the list of the 228 patents Linux is supposedly violating ? http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/biztech/11/19/tech.microsoft.linux3.reut/index.html It would be really interesting how many of these patents would even count as a patent in countries with less ridiculous patent laws, and how many of these patents cannot be immediately seen as trivial. After even the Economist voiced concerns over the impact of US patent legislation to innovation, it would be high time the debate moved on to congress or the senate. Somebody _please_ start enforcing the "non-obvious" clause. Just because nobody has come up with a particular solution does not mean it is a non-obvious idea. Is the research group they are referring to the Alex de Tocqueville institute ?
