Not only it wouldn't be a great thing (software patents are bad, period) but also it wold require a foundation with funds comparable to those of Microsoft's cash reserves, and then some, so it is not feasible. BTW, I see few gnome related sites closed down in protest against software patentes http://demo.ffii.org/inserturl.php and there's no news about gnome officially doing something, even though it was asked in the foundation list http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2004-April/msg00000.html Hugs, Rui -- + No matter how much you do, you never do enough -- unknown + Whatever you do will be insignificant, | but it is very important that you do it -- Gandhi + So let's do it...?
