Frankly, if your business has anything to do with developing Linux and related open-source software, you need to join. It will provide you, your programmers, and your business the IP protection you need to become an open-source winner. Statements like this is what make me suspicious -- these companies are going in there for "IP protection", for patents that are questionable in the first place. So what happens to companies that don't join this non-aggression community?
