Open Source Patents

| Nice, creative idea. But note a few things. First, the OIN patent pooling
| approach relies on the patent monopoly to work, since the potential threat of
| a patent infringement lawsuit is what induces third parties to enter into the
| OIN license (on the other hand, without the patent monopoly, there would be
| no reason for OIN to exist).

| In other words, it's similar to the situation that would exist in the absence
| of IP--without all the effort and waste to get a bunch of flaccid scraps of
| paper.
