Hi!

Patents are the most dangerous things to the free software movement.
Our main argument against patents is that "Information Technology"
is not a technology.
Hence this expression is the most important to have on the
words-to-avoid list.
Expressions on this list are there because they are used for expressing
or implying silly semantic arguments.

Please include it on the list.
Thank you.
