Boards.ie infringes US Patent

Trojan

FORM ACTION="http://www.boards.ie/cgi-bin/bulletin/postings.cgi" METHOD="POST" NAME="PostTopic" as does every other entity with METHOD="POST" on their website. In fact I just participated[1].

Some US government employee has patented "GET" and "POST" since he had a document dated 1992 explaining how to use them.

See Slashdot

btw it's supposedly an "international" patent, so therefore you are infringing. IANAL.

Al.


1. Note to muppet lawyers: I am under the influence of heavy doses of caffeine and not of sound mind and disposition.
