And so the same song gets replayed. The world is still waiting to know what the patents are that the Linux community is infringing. It seems that Baldmer (intended) has nothing else to do apart from singing the same old song, over and over again - sorta like his "developer, developer, developer" dance [1]. He really needs a new routine - "patents, patents, patents".
