Absolutely. If this keeps up, our whole society will grind to a halt.

One problem is that even open formats are not free of patent risk. You don't have to even know about a patent, to violate it. Also, some are overly broad, so as to make it difficult to avoid infringing, if you develop something similar. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
