Open source fights back: 'We won't get patent-trolled again'

Summary

Nutrition label

74% Informative

A patent troll buys up patents not to use them but to extort money from anyone who might want to use the patent.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation is uniting the cloud-native ecosystem to deter them.

CNCF announced the Cloud Native Heroes Challenge , a patent troll bounty program.

It's asking you to find evidence of preexisting technology that can kill off bad patents.

This is already listed in the "known references" tab of the contest information page and doesn't qualify. If you care about keeping open-source software easy and cheap to use -- or you believe trolls shouldn't be allowed to take advantage of companies that make or use programs -- you can help. I'll be doing some digging myself..
