Many patents are filed for defensive reasons. Ie. If I don't patent it,
then someone else will, and then I won't be able to use the idea I came
up with. The other defensive reason is so that if company A tries to
sue company B for infringing patents, then company B can threaten to

The operative word here is uncertainty. A patent-holder creates
uncertainty. How should an SDO respond? I'm not sure. I'm only

Richard and all,
Open source software for some uses does provide for some
utility. By a opposite token, open source software for other
uses is an inhearent privacy and security risk for obvious reasons
so indeed such also misses the point. I am in favor of any Good

Nic and all,
What is suggested here is not a reasonable solution or rational
suggestion. I use ECC and was an early supporter of ECC. Our

Sorry Paul but in this instance I have to agree with Dean, I
didn't see anything in his previous remarks that constituted legal
advice, and I DO have a law degree but do not practice law.
I also agree with Deans previous remarks that the standard
indeed is patent incumber
