Perhaps they should consider GitHub, which IS open source (except for some Enterprise Edition specific features that they charge for). Users can run GitLab Community Edition themselves on their own machines, or use the hosted gitlab.com version (like github.com).
I designed and implemented a patching system that works exactly as the patent summaries describe in early 1997. The software was released in late 1997, predating the patent application filing by around 9 months. The software is in use by hundreds of thousands of users currently. I hope this patent shows up on BountyQuest so I can collect a bounty!:-)
