Reminds me... didn't OS/2 have the capability to
store both short and
long file names on a FAT16 partiton? How does that go with MS'
patents? Where MS really allowed to file a patent on something that
already existed?
I think the actual question is how you want to invalidate the
patent. As far
as I remember it costs even money if you want to attack a patent that you
think is prior-art. How does that go with the work of volunteers...? I am
involved in other FOSS projects and I would not want to sue someone else on
behalf of a project or to be sued instead of the project. At last it is a
volunteer's work ...
Just my 2 cents,
Oliver
