He's referring to salvarsan's comment above. And the general craziness of zealots of various hues is quite topical at the moment :-). The Patent trolls certainly deserve retribution more than most.

One has to wonder how long this sort of patent nonsense will go on before the system finally gets improved. Those of us with clue have been telling everyone how wrong-headed it is (because it's completely obvious to us) for years now, and change is glacial. And meanwhile a lot of money is made by bad people, and a lot of innovation is held back.
