The Debian Project stands with the GNOME Foundation in defense against patent trolls

In 2012, the Debian Project published our Position on Software Patents,
stating the threat that patents pose to Free Software.

The GNOME Foundation has announced recently that they are fighting a lawsuit
alleging that Shotwell, a free and Open Source personal photo manager,
infringes a patent.

The Debian Project firmly stands with the GNOME Foundation in their efforts to show
the world that we in the Free Software communities will vigorously defend ourselves
against any abuses of the patent system.
