>but it is usually the folks making money that are using
the open source - not the open source writers themselves - who
are targeted.
So we're ["usually"] free to invent stuff as long as nobody
uses it?

Do you have any way of estimating the number of OSS
individuals & small companies who have licensed patents from
larger companies?
If patents do grant a monopoly are we saying that it is a
false monopoly as it is too expensive to enforce it against
everyone, i.e. the small companies? If so is that not another
indication that the system needs reform?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The small companies that they are complaining about are the non-practicing
entities, aka: trolls.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
