The other problem, as RMS pointed out at his talk, is that it will be very
expensive for EFF and it might even be used against us as the patent
inflation camp can say "look, the bad ones are being weeded out, the system
works!"

EFF are grasping at straws, not because they're an ineffective bunch
(they're not), but because USA dwellers have no better option.  We have a
golden opportunity in the EU.
