Phil,
This sure seems like the SCO vs. Linux lawsuits, except SCO was behaving as a schill for Microsoft and attempting to extort money from IBM, and anyone so brazen as to use Linux, particularly Novell, Daimler Chrysler, and AutoZone... If you are keeping up with it, you can see how well that went for SCO...
You might consider taking this to the open source community via Slashdot, the EFF, and perhaps Groklaw. There are plenty of very qualified men and women out there that have lots of experience fighting off just these sort of stupid abuses of the patent and copyright system. And these are many of the folks pushing hardest for reform in these areas.
Again, it seems like another case of big IP (in this case intellectual property) vs. the people...
