摘要：
High-profile court fights, such as the SCO Group's pursuit of IBM regarding disputed Unix copyrights, have made software patents a top debate topic in the open source community. For open source developers and customers seeking advice as they navigate the complicated sector of intellectual-property law, more information is now available. Furthermore, a few long-simmering worries for open source seem to be cooling. SCO's chances of a lawsuit victory appear to be decreasing. IBM and Sun are sharing patents with the open source community, a move designed to spur innovation and offer protection.
