Does anyone remember when plan 9 was released (I certainly don't, I'm too young) under a pseudo-open source license that contained a clause to the effect of "If you sue lucent in an ip case you lose your right to use plan 9". Imagine if people had actually adopted plan 9, since unlike real NPEs, victims could probably sue alcatel for infringing on patents of their own, although this doesn't seem to be the case yet.
