Noah,

Keep the acacia interest on your radar scope. There is a possibility someone like Larry Lessig or the EFF might take this as exactly the test case to reform all of patent law. That side might not develop quickly. Right now Spike and gang are the only significant force to be bearing the standard. I wouldn't be suprised to see Spike get a call from the Stanford center on internet and society of the Berkman Center for Internet Law at Harvard over the next couple of months to join in the fight.

I know it has sounds of delusions of grandeur, but this could be an important case law finding down the road that shifts patent law back to a more Jeffersonian footing.
