Steve,
... since we don't have the money to fight a patent that's being enforced even if it is invalid.
Although Debian may not have the financial resources necessary to retain private counsel, the Software Freedom Law Center and Public Patent Foundation are here to provide it pro bono representation on such matters. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is ever anything we can do to help.
