My $.02.

Why comply? It only adds credence to their claim that software is
patentable. I am simply ignoring their claim until a court orders me to do
otherwise. At the point where the browsers my students use can support png
to the extent that the can with gifs, I will happily make the change.
Until then, I think a better tactic for the courts to consider is the
common-use after publication of standards should supercede patent claims.

Bah, patents.
