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,
Frank Casey
Membership Executive
Open Invention Network
