[Bluej-discuss] Microsoft patents Object Bench

[andrea Valente]

I've just read that the "incident" seems to be solved, for now at least.
I'm still astonished that something like that could happen.

I would like to express my warmest sympathy to you and the rest of the BlueJ
development team.
Thanks for a very nice tool and for keeping up and running ;)
   Andrea

Ps I wish there is something I (and perhaps the bluej-users community) could
do to support/protect more the tool in the future.
