Yep, but let's not get too religious over this and count everyone
holding software patents (I guess you meant those Johnny)
as trolls. Software patents are in most cases used as bargaining chips
or protection to avoid being caught in lengthy legal
disputes with other holders of software patents. And these agreements
might reflect in the cost of the products, as Johnny points out.
If we do give in and are reluctant to implement functions covered by
some US patents, then we're in fact validating the current situation and
playing by their rules.
