Interesting. And where does this leave OOo? Are they next on the hit list?
As OO.o is free, how can they stop it from being sold?
I'm not a lawyer but simple logic suggests that if OOo is proved to have
infringed a valid patent, the fact that it's free should not make any
difference. Morally, perhaps. Legally, no. Otherwise some charitable
institution could, with complete impunity, make patented drugs and give
them away to third world countries.
