Is this any different than Java?
There are positive reasons to have someone hold the patent, mainly, that there is only one captain of the ship. I support open source, but the hitorical problem with it and UNIX has been forking. Some propeller head messes with the code and makes the system incompatible. By holding one stream closed, it sets the standards that the rest must meet, with the result being better compatibility for everyone.

What is the goal of the free software foundation? Is it free software or to have everyone going in so many directions that nobody moves forward? I propose that the FSF take control of the streams to get everyone moving in one direction. (seriously, how many versions of Linux do we need?)
