The problem(s) with OpenID

I wouldn't say that.

U.S. does have patent treaties with other countries. And I expect a small number of other
countries have the ability to patent aspects of software. To what extent these sort of things
transfer, I don't know. But certainly most other countries are affected by it one way or
another.
