[edit] What does 'decommoditizing' mean?

sounds like one of those new words Microsoft are inventing

"After the lawsuit ended, the League went dormant to be resurrected when software patents enforcement and threats became increasingly annoying, for example with Microsoft threats of decommoditizing its interfaces." unsigned comment was added by 210.227.0.250 (talk - contribs) 23:40, 19 September 2005 (UTC).

[edit] This makes no sense

"The league with co-ordination of other organizations have successfully block software patents bill from being converted into act in India."

I'll edit if no comments within a week. unsigned comment was added by 210.227.0.250 (talk - contribs) 23:42, 19 September 2005 (UTC).

[edit] Adam Richter, founding member?

The Yggdrasil Linux/GNU/X article says that Adam Richter was a founding member of the LfPF and cites this as the references:

http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-activists/1992/12/1/16961 (where LfPF is mentioned in Richter's sig)

Can anyone confirm/deny this? Give a better reference? --Gronky 09:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
