A list of puns related to "Bruce Perens"
Here is video of the 9th Circuit Appeals Court hearing of Open Source Security Inc. / Bradley Spengler v. Bruce Perens.
Open Source Security Inc. and their CEO, Mr. Bradley Spengler, sued me for 3 Million dollars for defamation, because I wrote this blog post, in which I explained why I thought they were in violation of the GPL. They lost in the lower court, and had to file this $300,000 bond to pay for my defense, which will be awarded to my attorneys if the appeals court upholds the lower court's finding.
Because OSS/Spengler are in Pensylvania and I am in California, this was tried before a Magistrate in Federal court, with the laws of California and the evidentiary rules of the Federal Court. Thus, I am now in the 9th Circuit for appeal.
The first attorney to appear is for OSS/Spengler. The second works for EFF, and the third for O'Melveny. IMO EFF and O'Melveny did a great job.
If you are interested in the case, I have a partial archive of the case documents from PACER, and a link to PACER where the rest can be found, here.
Posted to the digital voice google group >Please forward this to anyone who can help. The perfect candidate would be a radio amateur who is a patent attorney.
>Currently there are two independent Open Source implementations of the AMBE codec used in D-STAR. The remaining issue before radio amateurs can use them safely is the patents in force upon that technology.
>Through the pro-bono work of a intellectual property professional, we have arrived at the belief that the date of public disclosures made by DVSI would make their U.S. patents on the AMBE 1000 chip unenforcible after a date later this year. We believe that the AMBE 1000 chip is capable of the mode of operation used for D-STAR, and that thus it would be legal to implement all-software D-STAR systems upon that date, without use of technology incorporating DVSI products such as DV-Dongle. Modes first implemented in AMBE 2000 and later devices are covered by patents of longer, though finite, scope.
>We need an attorney to confirm these conclusions - or otherwise, and the attorney available to us doesn't focus his practice on patents. The perfect candidate would be a radio amateur who is a practicing or retired patent attorney, does not have conflicts concerning Digital Voice Systems Incorporated, and who is willing and able to donate their services for the good of Amateur Radio. Findings would be made to a non-profit and shared with any party who wishes to produce software AMBE implementations.

I've removed the phone number and email address to avoid any personal information issues. They can be found in the linked google group post.
