Parent article: Call for Prior Art

LWN reported on this back in Oct 2007, when it was news. "Post-issue.org", although affiliated with New York Law School, seems to be, um, rather confused and disorganized. ris-- please check the context more throughly before posting.

It may not be clear from the page, but this is a new push (backed by Red Hat's legal department) to bring out prior art in this case. It's new news which merits a mention now.

That does explain things a bit -- and with some digging, I came up with this OSNews post that explains (some) more about it; then I found an actual message(via mail-archive.com) from an "Assistant General Counsel, IP" at Redhat explaining it. It'd be really nice if the post-issue.org page was clearer, and linked to some of these pages, though.
