Remember this guy?

http://www.iit.edu/~elrad/esep.html

The old GA plug-in scheduler from 2.0.
At the bottom of the page he indicates he's got a patent on it, too.

He released the Linux one GPL so he's already granted GPL usage rights
(see the GPL license). If he wants to make a lot of money of proprietary
vendors by playing the US patent game so be it. I imagine anyone who
wants it will just countersue him for something bogus and take it as
part of the settlement when he goes bankrupt.
