All very good points. Perhaps I was overstating it. If this is really about
making someone feel more comfortable about participating or simply raising
awareness then by all means add a rule. My note was directed a little more
towards those who may be at risk than those who would have to implement the
rule since a loosely enforced guideline on an open list that you voluntarily
subscribe to is a pretty thin veil. Andrei offers some sage advice in his
last note:

If you are unaware, simply walk over to your friendly corporate lawyer and
ask them, "hey... if you got a moment, could tell me all about this patent
thing and what I should know going forward?"
