Although some assertions in the patent PDF are a bit far-fetched (I read German), the whole idea of bringing down a high-profile project like this to get more attention for the software patent issue in the EU is a Good Thing (tm).
Too bad this also means less credibility for the Linux community, and OSS as a whole. As a Novell employee this worries me quite a bit - my future bread and butter.
The question is: will this cause enough stir in the European Parliament and Commission to get them to discard the upcoming patent laws?
Otherwise, it is just a dent in OSS credibility.
