Old news in terms of the granting of a patent on subdomains.. new news (afaik) 
that theyve now started sending out letters telling folks they need to pay now 
for a license:

Patent:

So, does anything need doing or like New.net and SCO do we just need to laugh at 
the futility and stupidity of these people and get back to more boring things?
