[gentoo-dev] Software patents

[twofourtysix]

I applaud all those people on the Planet who are posting
anti-software-patent banners in their blogs. It's good to see yet
another major software project taking a stance.

Are these people prepared to back up their views by removing from the
tree all those ebuilds for software made by companies who make heavy
use of software patents? That would be far more effective, and may
even encourage a few mainstream tech news sources to stop ignoring the
issue. I can think of quite a few software-patent friendly companies
who are currently gaining significant good PR from being 'supported'
by Gentoo.
