Hello everybody,
I recently had a discussion which made me wonder: does anyone of you know someone who was directly threatened with software patents; either someone in the function as a volunteer contributor to Free Software, or self-employed? To clarify: it is not about companies being threatened with patents, but about threats to individual contributors.
If so, would you be able to ask them to get in contact with me? I will of course handle all of that confidential. Currently I am mainly interested how often that happens and in which areas.
Thank you, Matthias
