I applaud all those people on the Planet who are posting anti-software-patent banners in their blogs. It's good to see yet another major software project taking a stance.
Are these people prepared to back up their views by removing from the tree all those ebuilds for software made by companies who make heavy use of software patents? That would be far more effective, and may even encourage a few mainstream tech news sources to stop ignoring the issue. I can think of quite a few software-patent friendly companies who are currently gaining significant good PR from being 'supported' by Gentoo. -- [email protected] mailing list
