And as I said, the idea of long file names - hidden in a separate file - was
in use for at least 5 years before Microsoft came out with MS Win95. So the
patent is bogus, fraudulent and more an attempt to bail people up like
highwaymen and rob them than anything to do with legitimate business.
Talk to Moglen - this is what he's trained for, after all.

You ask, what is the most important thing?
Maku e ki, he tangata, he tangata, he tangata.
I reply, it is people, it is people, it is people.
Which would you rather have, pay a
small fee to use the patented features or not use the patented features
at all?
Fight or disregard the patent? :)
