By fostering the largest patent non-aggression community in history, OIN has protected core Linux and a broad array of FOSS technologies from patent aggression. We have worked together for the past 15 years, with the goal that FOSS would grow unimpeded by patent risks, and we have largely succeeded.  OIN has made a transformational difference.  I look forward to working with Keith and OIN as it creatively faces new challenges in the next decade.
