- jkeel 15y agoYep. It makes me wonder if they would pay more attention if maybe a patent troll came after them (I know, I know... it won't happen). They are using Drupal for whitehouse.gov and I'm sure other open source tech as well. There's got to be something in there a patent troll could claim. Maybe the petition software itself. Someone's got to have a patent on allowing people to submit a post and allowing people to vote on it. Hmm...
