Give it up Stallman, at every turn you're outwitted and outgunned.
You're worried about Intellectual Ventures? Well there's more in the pipes for you and free software, I guarantee. I've been formulating a new strategy which will reduce your free software movement to the outskirts of mainstream society, similar to the dope smoking hippie community of yesteryear.
Your so called war on software patents is lost. You will lose the battle in Europe, which seems to be the last bastion of hope for your cadre. The politicians and people will not change the laws as they reliase to stay competitive in the world, they must be able to protect their corporations using IP. As every year passes, more and more countries adopt patent laws in order to harmonise with the rest of the world. Increasingly that means providing patent protection for software and soon, business methods.
