Re:Is there a lobby for influencing patent law? (Score 1)

I doubt lobbying would work because the other side can spend more money on lobbying than we can.

Suppose you received a patent for your pseudo-random sequences and assigned it to a non-profit organization which would protected the patent for you? If someone wants to use your patented idea in an open-source way, then the license is very cheap. If the use is *not* open source, then it costs more.

License fees collected this way to go pay for the legal fees to patent other open source stuff.

There may be a large number of ideas like yours that could be used to set up a defensive perimeter of open source patents.

What do you think?
