What melodrama. How about some violins in the background. Only children
live in fear. Adults learn to deal with the patent system. All comapnies
in all industries have to deal with the potential of patents being
asserted against them. There is nothing new or interesting in this
reality affecting open source companies. But their problems are no
different from any other industry experiencing patent problems because
in the end software just another industry - nothing special - and like
all the industries before it it is learning to adapt the patent system.
