Not fully true. Patents are a big problem if you are a small company
or a free time project like 99.999% of the OSS projects are. In that
case you will have a very hard time to defent yourself against patent
claims, no matter how invalid the patent is. The problem with the
current system si, that _you_ have to prove that the claim is invalid,
which is a matter of a curt case with lots of experts involved and
thus costs a lot of money.
