The OIN is nothing more than a bottom feeder trying hard....
to do away with patents they think they can fight.

If Linux based systems are not guily of major patent abuse, as MS has claimed in the past, why would there be an OIN and why would they be concerned about any patents?
As I recall, every FOSS FUDmeister on this blog called that assertion patently false and it's MS that is using other's patents.

How can you corroborate the original FOSS stance with the current FOSS actions trying to kill proper and issued patents?
