I'm concerned that nearly everyone seems to be looking at this from a parochial perspective.
I live in the United States, but a huge percentage of this list does not. It's not necessarily a given that everyone cares about US patent infringement or the threat of civil suits, whether they work exclusively in the web or not. For that matter, it's worth pointing out that not everyone is in a position to care about the first amendment to the US constitution. I've always disliked the tyranny of the minority. The people who squawk the loudest get what they want. To me, it makes just as much sense for them to find their own patent-free safety list as it does for the rest of the readership to change their behavior--which is good because eliminating patents from the main discussion list is never, never going to happen as long as we allow people to post from e-mail. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
