'Anonymous' funds patent foe (News.com)
According to News.com, an anonymous donor is funding Bruce Perens to fight software patents. "Perens says the $50,000 yearly grant will let him spend a quarter of his time working on the IETF and other standards groups, including the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), to urge the adoption of royalty-free policies. He also plans to become an official member of the W3C, which charges a $5,000 membership fee."
