Re: [JPP-Devel] Fwd: OpenJUMP joining software patent non-aggression community

[edgar . soldin]

yeah, well let's not do it. starting w/ that i don't want to join "the likes of 
Canonical, Daimler, Ford Motors ...", which are the ones enforcing patents left 
and right suffocating innovation, ending with the fact that software patents 
should be prohibited at all. patenting software concepts is like patenting a 
vehicle on wheels w/o the need to actually build one and then licensing this 
"car" patent out to actual car manufacturers ripping off a share of their 
honestly earned money.

we should play no part in this game.. ede

Re: [JPP-Devel] Fwd: OpenJUMP joining software patent non-aggressioncommunity

[Brian M Hamlin]

To OpenJUMP stakeholders:
 
I believe it is inevitable that these sorts of associations exist,
and that it is ordinary and perhaps necessary to join,
then the question is reduced to "which"

Asunto: OpenJUMP joining software patent non-aggression community

Dear Gentlemen, 
My name is Frank Casey and I am writing to you on behalf of the Open 
Invention Network (OIN), an organization formed and funded by IBM, Red 
Hat, SUSE, Sony, NEC, Philips, Google, and Toyota to foster a safe 
patent environment for developers and users of Open Source-based 
solutions.  I recently learned of OpenJUMP and would like to invite 
you to join the OIN community. 
 
We are a community of over 2,200 members from across the Open Source 
spectrum who are invested in the future of Open Source and, whether it 
be creating or using Open Source, want to protect that investment.  
They joined OIN because they recognized that reducing the risk of 
patent aggression is a key step in doing so. As you know, if patent 
aggression is directed at your project it can jeopardize all the work 
you've done. 
 
To deter aggression, OIN has created an environment where patent 
aggression aimed at the Open Source ecosystem is unacceptable.  We 
undertake a variety of activities to protect our community (see 
attachment) and our members pledge non-aggression to each other. 
 
There is no cost to join or maintain membership and you would also be 
joining the likes of Canonical, Daimler, Ford Motors, Fujitsu, SAP, 
Cisco Systems, Twitter, and Mozilla in supporting the principle of 
non-aggression. 
 
I believe joining OIN is a great way to lend your support for a free 
Open Source environment and protect your efforts from patent 
aggression.  I hope you will consider joining us and, to that end, 
invite you to visit our website at http://www.openinventionnetwork.com 
to learn more. 
 
I thank you for your time and look forward to hering back from you. 
 

Regards,
