It's been around for the past couple weeks. I wouldn't really worry
about it that much; most
OSS projects do this every once in a while (mplayer did it before
about a year and a half ago, if memory serves, same basic message).
Just a reminder that we're in dire need of patent reform, here in the
US, and abroad.
