First, this isn't quite on-topic for this group (neither is the meta-discussion about patent laws and their interpretation that is almost guaranteed to follow), as this has no relationship to the official Android SDK.
Second, more importantly, many people who read and participate in this group and other official Android discussion groups work for companies where company policy is to avoid reading or learning about any patent-related subject, and to avoid forums and sites where such discussions routinely happen. It'd be unfortunate if those people were forced to stay away from the official groups because of patterns of patent-related discussions. Let's try to be self-moderating in that area before lawyers need to get involved (as even the most friendly lawyers can't make their involvement pleasant in that case).
