A lot of people on GLLUG will have heard RMS's talk on software patents.
(Some of us more than once!)

Listen carefully to the bit about cross-licensing - his example of how 
$LARGECOMPANY has a huge portfolio of software patents and will use them 
to counter any claims from others, resulting in a web of cross-licensed 
patents.

ps. thinking of RMS, he should be entertaining at FOSDEM this year.
