I, and an attorney friend of mine, have both asked OIN officers whether OIN exists to protect the system of software patenting from reforms inspired by Open Source, or to protect Linux (OIN doesn't protect all Open Source) from software patenting. They won't ever answer the question. It's clear their marching orders are more complicated than some people understand.
Who's not attacking whom?
