lazlo.vii Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 https://www.gnome.org/news/2019/10/gnome-files-defense-against-patent-troll/ I have no issues with people making an honest living from their work but there are lines that shouldn't be crossed and I do no believe that Rothschild Patent Imaging, LLC is anything other than a troll looking to make a quick buck. Besides, I also believe software should never be subject to patents. The greed machine is attacking us. I say "us" because even though I don't write free software it accounts for about 80% of the software I use. If you can do anything to help (such as donate a bit money or provide evidence of prior art to invalidate the patent) please do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrc Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 Naah. The GNOME Foundation has been a major enabler of Redhat co-opting the majority of the Linux FOSS ecosystem through systemd and it's ever expanding tenticals. Let them get money from their corporate sponsors at Redhat/IBM, Canonical, and Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stamasd Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, patent trolls=bad. On the other hand, Gnome=systemd. I'll watch but I won't intervene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
