Time for a cease-and-desist letter?Time for a cease-and-desist letter?Posted May 15, 2007 3:00 UTC (Tue) by tavis (guest, #14187)In reply to: Time for a cease-and-desist letter? by khim Parent article: Microsoft takes on the free world (CNN)
I'm not suggesting fighting all 235 patents. The point of a cease-and-desist letter would be to force M$ to either tell us what the patents are or to shut up. The FSF and other legal groups (e.g., SFLC) don't necessarily have a business to grind to a halt; or, they could do it on behalf of a developer. They could claim harm by saying that their client's protected speech (of sharing his/her code with DB/Credit Suisse/etc.) has been threatened. Hmm, maybe someone should ask them.....
