I found this brilliant parody at Groklaw today. I love the Princess Bride so much, and this was just brilliant.

Oh and in case you didn't know, software patents are stupid. How could you possibly patent logic or math? If it can't be done fairly than it shouldn't be done at all. These systems were created to encourage innovation not stifle it. At this point I'm not even that concerned about the big "threat from Microsoft" against free/libre and open source software. I'm just amused by it all. The more useless Linux vendors that sign agreements with MS the happier I am. They just make it clear who actually understands FLOSS and who doesn't. I wouldn't want to deal with supposed FLOSS company that doesn't even understand that philosophical and legal basis that underlies their main products. So no worries from me about any of this. To me this is like watching a bad reality show and just enjoying the complete melt down of contestants that can't take it anymore.
