Bruce,

I don't know that I'm sufficiently educated or briefed on this issue
to really comment on how helpful the pools may actually be. I just wanted
to say that as someone who cares very much about free software and Linux,
the patent pooling projects - even if they may marred by half measures
and partial commitments - indicate to me that there is a big community
out there that really does care.

When news of patents and DRM began to boil over, the future of our
practice seemed to be at grave risk. We still have many battles to fight,
but I for one will sleep a bit easier at night knowing that we have some
of the world's best on our side.

- Chase
