Stupid question here ... if Oracle came at us with "the Software Patent
crap", is there any "reasonable time" provided to remove it?  We've
already shown in the past that that isn't a big hurdle, with the ARC
stuff, so am just curiuos as to how big a thing the Patent stuff is, or
does even that fall under 'temporary setback / inconvience'?
