<br></div><div>My name is Juan Rodriguez, and I currently maintain a pair of packages for Fedora 10, 11 and 12. </div><div><br></div><div>One of those packages I maintain is gnome-do, (and gnome-do-plugins), with gnome-do-docklets along the way. However, it has come to my attention that gnome-do's "docky" interface violates US Patent 7434177 [1], which in turn, crippled gnome-do by removing docky from the Fedora's package. </div>
