LinuxWorld | Patents breeding software extortion: Moglen: "'Sudden avalanches of monopoly lawyers descending on unsuspecting customer executives to warn them about the patent trouble they are about to get into if they don't pay royalties for free software has been going on at an enhanced rate for 12 months.
'The victims of such 'muggings' don't like to come forward. They don't tell the press, or us.'
Moglen said some organizations prefer to pay royalties to the monopoly rather than challenge the threats."
