RE: IPR: analysis of Microsoft patent applications

The bottom line is - you 
know, if you think that it's going to be infringing - don't do it.

Thus ended a potentially useful application to prevent forgery.  It joins its
brothers and sisters in the Graveyard of Good Ideas such as The Electric Car,
inexpensive solar energy, among others, in the name of corporate greed.

Thanks, Microsoft.

This must be what RMS meant when he says software patents are dangerous.
