Given it's reddit I can't see how it could be about anything other than software patents.

We absolutely know it’s about patents. That’s the only thing we know.

But we don’t know what the patents are, and what the infringement allegations are. Knowing that will help us determine who is in the right.

I'm always glad when I see your comments, and that's definitely true for this post.

Patent trolls are not limited to software.

There is no information available to say who is good or evil here.

Software patents are almost exclusively used by trolls, however.
