In this video we discuss the recent Patent Troll Rothschild Patent Imaging lawsuit against the Gnome Foundation Shotwell tool. We discuss how you can get involved in helping to combat this case from setting precedent and send a message to other Patent Trolls to stay away from open source community. We like a good fight!
