I think as a Linux user group we need to up our game in termns of
promoting free software

We need to educate people on the dangers of software patents, reports
like this will simply put people off using free software as they may
thing they are going to get sued or similar.

With cuts in the public sector looming this is the last thing the
software community need,  perhaps its a ploy by microsoft to ensure that
people still choose them despite having to save money.
