On Wednesday 16 November 2005 at 23:20:10 GMT the following appeared on LKML:

Someone needs ping Novell about patent 6,728,959 for SMP Strong
Affinity and get it added to the patent commons project at OSDL. It
will help defeat any claims brought by that certain Lindon Utah company
owning SMP in Linux. I noticed Novell has signed up but not placed any
patents into the project. Just thought I'd remind folks. Linux uses
strong affinity in much of its architecture. Having that patent in the
commons will remove any claims that Linux SMP infringes Unix.

Some details about this Novell patent are here

Is this the demented rantings of an idiot child? "Novell will not play with me, so I will tell Mommy"

I probably should ignore it, but I so hate liars.
