There's a newsworthy post from Slashdot on Stallman's suggestions for dealing
with SW patents:

from the by-virtue-of-virtue dept.
rimberg writes "Richard M. Stallman has a article on NewsForge talking about
ways to fight software patents. It mentions the Public Patent Foundation (and
why it's a good idea), but argues that fighting patents one by one will never
eliminate the danger of software patents, any more than swatting mosquitoes
will eliminate malaria." (Newsforge, like Slashdot, is part of OSTG.)
