Hi David,

Who has had the experience of developing or starting to develop a software
project of original design only to find out that it runs afoul of one or more
patents?

I haven't.

Who has (individually or as a company) researched the patents that were out
there to see if a product they were developing might violate one?

Plenty. But back in my hardware days. IMO, 99% of all software patents are
the opposite of good sense. The "Founding Fathers" are rolling over in their
graves. Or, at least, they should be.
