[odf-discuss] Sue me first, Microsoft!

[Christian Einfeldt]

hi,

Maybe this is a good idea, maybe not.  For the purposes of fighting the
Microsoft patent FUD, I have publicly challenged Microsoft to sue me first
for patent violations, if any, due to the fact that I use OOo and several
GNU Linux distros and whole bunch of FOSS besides that.  My goal here is to
get lots of people to sign up on this page to show that they are not afraid
of Microsoft's unprovable, unmeritorious patent claims against FOSS.  Eight
other people have joined me in asking Microsoft to put up or shut up:

If anyone on this list would like to join us, I would be grateful!  Also, if
anyone thinks that this story is newsworthy, I would also be grateful for a
mention on digg or /.   Thanks either way!

I listed my reasons here for challenging Microsoft:

Also, many thanks to PJ and the Groklaw team for the very funny and incisive
story on the Novell coupons killing the Microsoft patent claims:
