Oh! That's interesting! The upside of thisof course is that at least some
of the LXF format -is- documented. That's good. Hmm, I wonder which
countries LEGO has obtained this patent in, or if it's even enforceable in
the U.S.? Does anyone at a law firm or in law school have access to all 89
claims? Granted patents are public information, so someone could post a
copy of the claims here and we could pick them apart for fun.

Sorry, I'm not trying to make anyone else paranoid or offend Jake or anyone
else at LEGO, I just think it's in our best interests for us all to ask
tough questions and state our deepest concerns honestly, publicly, and
candidly, before becoming overly enthusiastic. Don't get me wrong, I think
LEGO is headed in a great direction with this.
The question I think we all must ask ourselves is, what do we each give up
in order to get what LEGO is asking us to buy into with our individual and
collective time and brainpower?
