It turns out that the patent has nothing to do with flight simulation
but with remote license checking, but still. The Slashdot article has
the line X-plane is a cross-platform flight simulator app, notably
the only serious one that supports Mac OSX and Linux. In the comments
the serious part refers to X-Plane being FAA certified. Now, I
know that software isn't FAA certified -- complete systems --are and
that FlightGear has been used in commercial simulators too, but
someone (Curt?) with the real details might want to chime in with a
correction.
..looks like Austin's big sin was make X-plane an Android app.
Who are the other 8 app developers?
..he should have dual-licensed X-Plane, _much_ easier to
find pro bono lawyer etc help with the GPL. Oh well.

Scenarios always come in sets of three:
best case, worst case, and just in case.

How fast is your code?
3 out of 4 devs don\\\'t know how their code performs in production.
