GSM patents aren't the problem, Martone is

Parent article: The trouble with OpenBTS

Most (well, I stopped after the first dozen or so) comments seem to be saying that GSM patents are the problem here. That's not how I read it. I've read Kestrel's petition to the court, and they're actually using GSM patents as proof that Martone has no claim to any IP in OpenBTS. It is Martone who has sued and received this preliminary injunction restricting dissemination of OpenBTS source code.

Just so everybody understands that Kestrel is not being sued for GSM infringements...

Do you have an update? (Or is it just me?) Reading his other entries makes me think the one referred to will be worth reading.
