As <a href="http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20100504120558642">Groklaw aptly reports</a>, opposing counsel pressed not only the question of whether Red Hat and Novell infringed three patents originally issued to Xerox corporation (which later fell into the hands of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_troll">non-practicing entity</a>), but argued before the jury that there was a fundamental conflict between property rights and open source software--a conflict they wanted the jury to resolve in their favor.</p>

<p>While I have been processing the events of the trial, playing and replaying lines of questioning over and over in my mind, I've barely been able to keep up with the extraordinary changes to both the competitive landscape and the competitive rules of the technology industry.  Having escaped from one rabbit-hole, I appear to have fallen down another directly.</p>
