   @bkuhn Yes, I'm talking about tech industry perception. Settling ("we won't enforce GPL if you drop this patent thing") might be bad, too.

   It'd be interesting to see the gap over time, and the gap in apps/install, too.

    I just don't think it's helpful for GPL enforcement in general if it's seen as a sneaky trick to retaliate against a patent troll.

    But even though in the business world people think of copyright and patents as part of a big thing called "IP"...

    I don't have a problem with it. But from the outside, it looks like enforcing GPL is the same as pursuing a software patent.

    That said, the fact that they're enforcing in retaliation for patent trolling makes the GPL enforcement look equivalent. That's bad.

    I think we need to look past the success of luxury systems like Macs. We need to make sure people who need or want them have free desktops.

    @bkuhn I think that our current situation is a source of opportunity. So many ways for hackers to have an impact.
