[Asterisk-Users] Sprint Nextel sueing over VoIP patents

[John Novack]

I read those comments as a dig on the US patent law as it relates to 
software, rather than a broader dig at the U.S. Perhaps I am too kind?
 
There are screwy laws all around the globe
Some countries require one to prove their innocence, others cut off a 
body part for a related crime, and we all suffer at the hands of our 
politicians
