GPL-like system for Patents

Freedom Fighter writes "Here's a guy who is trying to create GPL-ish patent pools. He's already got some people intertested including Raph Levien who recently placed his patents under the GPL. Seems that companies can contribute their patents to the pool. Depending on how much freedom they are willing to give people to use those patents, they receive a certain amount of freedom to use other people's patents as well." I could swear we've mentioned this site before but I don't see it in the archives. Well, consider it mentioned.
