This was just a general reminder that in most cases, it is not required by
LAW
to hire a lawyer. Of course, it depends on the jurisdiction and country and
court. For example, in France, you only need a lawyer for the Cour de
Cassassion (from memory). To go to court, you only need legal expertise.
This being written, going to court is not a solution because:
1) you have to agree with the idea of patents on software.
2) the fight for freedom is a non-violent fight.
Humour is a better weapon, the guys from the EPO and large companies
buying/selling land on the moon are nuts.
Cheers,
