I don't know what to make of this. On one hand, he says a lot that makes sense, but on the other hand, if Red Hat fought patents owned by patent trolls the courts would have to deal with the underlying issues (software is essentially math, and probably not a good idea to patent) over and over. Sooner rather than later, the US Supreme Court would rule on it, hopefully in a manner that makes sense, although they have ruled in spectacularly bizarre ways in the past (separate but equal).
