-        <p>
-        all hell broke loose yesterday: i got a phone call yesterday by a nice lady,
-        which presented herself as a former advocate of apple. she told me that the
-        objective of her team was to find copyright and patent violations and therefore
-        she called me:
-        </p>
-
-        <p>
-        obviously i did something wrong by starting such a project as cheese, which is
-        a pure clone of photo booth. this would violate the us patent
-        IC 009. US 021 023 026 036 038. G &amp; S: computer software used for image
-        editing, image acquisition, and image viewing, which was filed on
-        february the 28th 2006
-        and as gnome is registered and known as an organization of the usa, this patent
-        would be applicable.
-        </p>
-
-        <p>
-        i thought, that such patents would just apply, if there is some commercial
-        interest behind it, but she knew it better: as i created cheese in the summer
-        of code program, i "worked" for google, which makes everything a commercial
-        project, even if now i "probably" do not get any money. in addition the full us
-        patent law applies, as i a) worked for google in the usa for the summer of code
-        program and b) cheese is now included in gnome, which is an organization
-        registered in the usa.
-        </p>
-
-        <p>
-        she also told me, that of course there are similar applications like photo
-        booth, but cheese acts as a clone and therefore an illegal copy because it
-        works on intel based macs and therefore would be a competitor of photo booth.
-        the fact, that cheese just runs on linux on the intel based macs was worthless
-        by her.
-        </p>
-
-        <p>
-        so it looks pretty bad for me now.. i got a deadline of 5 work days to remove
-        cheese code and binary versions from all places i have access to (probably
-        svn.gnome.org, ftp.gnome.org, ...).
-        </p>
-
-        <p>
-        i already contacted a lawyer, which thinks he can help me, but of course it is
-        david against goliath...
-        </p>
-
-        <p>
-        so, if you know a way out of this, please contact me!
