Don't Tempt Providence

A leopard doesn't change its spots and I'm told not to get hold of a tiger by its tail.

Notwithstanding that, I think the extent, nature and use of patents granted for software is a absolute disgrace.

Of course with M$, there's always the pot and the kettle.

In association with Intel
Now is the time to start taking this danger VERY seriously. This is big and very nasty business in action. The objective seems absolutely clear. Destroy GPL and 'steal' all the technology. An activity with plenty of precedence.
