IBM breaks OSS patent promise

Free and Open Source Software doesn’t mean you can trap and walk through the Casablanca Lily’s and Petunias at the local park! Just like IBM said “claiming that the antitrust motion is unfounded and that a software emulation business is just like selling cheap knock-offs of brand-name clothing.”
Come out with a free clothing line called Polo-Z with a pixelated Polo horse and see how fast Ralph Lauren hits you with a law suit without a letter with out the nine pages of world recognized registered patents! Just because software isn’t quite exactly a manufactured tangible product doesn’t mean its not an infringed product!
