I think you've got a difference in philosophy to contend with here. If I were a Linux Foundation developer, I would be extremely offended if someone suggested I patent one of my ideas. Software patents are ludicrous and extremely harmful to the software world. I would immediately quit any job which contributed to the creation of them. I can't speak for any Foundation developers, but I'd be surprised if very many of them felt differently.

IE if someone wants to say "I find this abhorrent and refuse to participate", that's 100% okay. But that stance doesn't actually help change the situation to one that is better.
