283 Patents ...

This is the original paper by a company that sells a
"patent insurance" to companies. Essentially, they are offering
companies a way to pay the insurance company money, and in case
any license fees for patents on Linux are leveraged, they will pay for it.
Basically, this is an organisation that bets money on the fact that none
of the 283 patents they found will actually hold up in court. It's quite
hilarious that Ballmer is using numbers from a group of people that is
willing to bet a significant amount of money on the fact that none of those
patents will hold up closer examination :-)

Cheers,
