Understood. Though it isn't hard to argue that the OSDL solution is no solution at all, meerly a resource that makes it somewhat easier for the creators of open source software to defend themselves. In other words it is a poor second to real legislative action that would actually deal with the underlying issues.
So rather then attacking it I'd be inclined to say, "Look at the lengths we are having to go to in order to somewhat blunt the very fundamental and serious problems that software patents are causing."
