[Lancaster] Microsoft Getting Paid for Patents in Linux?

[Phil Chandler]

I think this depends on the possibility of finding out what companies
have paid up and then some sort of name and shame campaign, getting them
to defend in public their proof that they needed to do this.  As to how
that information is obtained, I'm not sure.

I've just seen this article:

As a long time and very satisfied user of SuSE (now under Novell), this
upsets me. How can the Linux fraternity best respond?
