Apple, WTF?
Apple claimed the new Gnome Cheese is infringing a Apple patent concerning image editing, acquisition, and viewing. ?!. The author was asked to remove the code within 5 days. !!. Apple, WTF??

Will this crazy and dumb all-patenting system ever end??
[Edit: of course, there is a chance of an April fools joke. Pretty tasteless if this is the case… ]
[Edit2: This *was* a joke of a really bad taste. ]
Brainstorm: how to involve new contributors? »
