@moonman @dtluna Somebody is going to have to nut up at some point and get MS to tell us exactly what patents they think the Linux kernel violates. 'Cause I can't imagine the BSD kernels don't violate most of the same ones.

@dolus @dtluna I don't really understand the mechanism by which you can extort patent violation payola out of someone without publicly saying what the patents are.

@moonman @dolus @dtluna The mechanism is called the US Courts system.

@maiyannah @dtluna @dolus @moonman Settlements out of court is a great way to relieve the court system, though.
Now, if it were a private court, that wouldn't matter. But it isn't, and the taxpayers pay for court capacity.
