					<description><![CDATA[&lt;strong&gt;Open source insurance - it&#039;s time has come&lt;/strong&gt;

If you can mitigate your business risk, and the price of that mitigation has a positive NPV given your cost of capital, you generally take it. I&#039;ve therefore always been a believer in insurance. I consider it (in several forms)...

					<description><![CDATA[You know, this is a lot less paranoid than you&#039;d think at first glance.

If I wanted to make money litigating bogus software IP, Open Source is a great way to start. Bogus or overly broad patents require, y&#039;know, a &lt;i&gt;patent&lt;/i&gt;, standard theft of code suits need some plausible scenario where they&#039;d be able to access your code, but &lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt;...all you need is to show that someone accessed your site &lt;i&gt;once&lt;/i&gt;, and there you go.

Easy to fake, too. And it&#039;s not like most companies keep extensive records of every site visited for years, that&#039;d require huge amounts of information.

					<description><![CDATA[Software is a capital intensive business - all the money is invested before collecting the first cent. An intellectual property dispute that keeps a product off the market could quickly become a financial disaster.
