Patent should be reexamined!

This message is also posted on our weblog "Dutch Sakai News & Opinions".
Just before the next Sakai conference will take place in Atlanta, there is an official press release on sakaiproject.org: 'November 30, 2006 - The Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) today announced that it has formally asked the Patent Office to reexamine and ultimately cancel all 44 claims of Blackboard's patent on e-learning systems (SFLC Press Release). The SFLC filed the request for reexamination on behalf of the Sakai Foundation (sakaiproject.org), the Moodle Community (moodle.org), and the ATutor Community (atutor.ca), three open source software projects which develop online educational systems.'
There is also a Patent FAQ available.
