A Quick Word On Dojo and Patents

,----[ Quote ]
| It’s sad that Slashdot hasn’t, for a decade of coverage of IP issues, learned 
| that licensing is harder than the zealots would have you believe and that 
| malice isn’t always the intent of those who participate in communities with a 
| commercial interest.   
| 
| The good news here, of course, is that IBM is just as generous today toward 
| the OSS and Dojo communities as they were yesterday. We have the legal 
| documents to prove it.

Has the US patent system gone too far?

,----[ Quote ]
| When Samuel Hopkins came up with a method for improving the production of
| potash, it was probably just the kind of invention that President George
| Washington had in mind when he created the US patent system. Hopkins, who in
| 1790 received the first American patent ever issued, had discovered a way to
| increase the production of a critical resource used to make glass, soap, and
| soil fertilizer.
