hi, Maybe this is a good idea, maybe not. For the purposes of fighting the Microsoft patent FUD, I have publicly challenged Microsoft to sue me first for patent violations, if any, due to the fact that I use OOo and several GNU Linux distros and whole bunch of FOSS besides that. My goal here is to get lots of people to sign up on this page to show that they are not afraid of Microsoft's unprovable, unmeritorious patent claims against FOSS. Eight other people have joined me in asking Microsoft to put up or shut up: http://digitaltippingpoint.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sue_me_first_Microsoft_list If anyone on this list would like to join us, I would be grateful! Also, if anyone thinks that this story is newsworthy, I would also be grateful for a mention on digg or /. Thanks either way! I listed my reasons here for challenging Microsoft: http://digitaltippingpoint.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sue_me_first% 2C_Microsoft Also, many thanks to PJ and the Groklaw team for the very funny and incisive story on the Novell coupons killing the Microsoft patent claims: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20070518124020691 -- New QCA Accredited IT Qualifications www.theINGOTs.org You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
