Re:Open Source helps fight stupid software patents

On: Basic Patent Law for Programmers

But according to the article, specifically the points for overturning a patent, doesn't OS software have a distinct disadvantage?

point iii says that that the invention must have been offered for SALE.

point ii may give us some hope, but what kinds of publications are acceptable and is OS software doing this?

I'm not sure OS isn't covered, but a few warning bells definately went off in my head.
