Re:Is Open Source Good for All of Our Members? No. (Score 1)

I understand what patenting is, (and in general would prefer to see it outlawed for software and processes). You don't address the question of what is in it for the members of the open group. The Open Group is a member organziation and it take paranoia of a high order to imagine user organizations (or even vendors) coming together to usurp open source in the way you imply.
