| My reasons for not worrying are:
|
| 1. The recent KSR decision by the Supreme Court on obviousness...
|
| 2. FSF has told us that its lawyers believe that Microsoft has already
| become a distributor of GPL'd Linux...
|
| 3. Prior art searching is better organized.
|
| 4. What kind of companies threaten to hurt you if you don't pay them
| protection money?
|
| 5. To actually sue, Microsoft has to sue its own customers.
|
| 6. The Pentagon uses FOSS.
|
| 7. This is, to me, Darl II...
