I recieved a mail from a man called Frank Casey from Open Invention Network. Here is the article (Nothing inside is seemed to be personal).
Invitation to join Open Invention Network
Hello Gentlemen,

I'm just following-up to see if you've had a chance to consider joining OIN
and, if so, whether you have any questions or concerns that I can answer or
address.

Thank you,

Frank Casey

Hello Jeff, Bill and Tom;

My name is Frank Casey and I am writing to you on behalf of Open Invention
Network (OIN), an organization formed to support and protect the Linux
System and everyone who builds or uses Linux related technology. I noticed
Anthon on DistroWatch and wanted to invite you to join our community.

The OIN community helps support open innovation and deter patent
restriction around Linux and its related ecosystem by providing an
aggression "No Fly Zone." Anyone can join by pledging nonaggression
towards other OIN members and, in return, receives the same pledge from the
others as well as OIN's support if faced with aggression from
third-parties. Our objective is a future where patent aggression aimed at
Linux is unacceptable.

There is no cost to join nor any other obligation and today we have over
400 members from around the world who have joined in support of our efforts
to keep Linux open and free. KDE, Gentoo, Mozilla, Fujitsu, LG
Electronics, Cisco Systems, Facebook, and Google are just a few of our
members and we'd be pleased to have Anthon join us too.

I have attached some items about OIN for your perusal and, when time
allows, invite you to read them and/or go to our website at
http://www.openinventionnetwork.com for additional information.

I thank you for your time and hope you will give consideration to joining
us.

Cheers,

Frank Casey

no, what i mean is just is this a good news or not?

You know that good news or bad news is subjective, right? If the guy I really hate dies, it will be bad news for him and his family, but good news for me. I hope you get the point.

Simple. Did you ask to be contacted by Frank Casey or OIN? If not, obviously its a scam, do not contact the man (can't beleive that people fall for scams). If you did ask to be contacted, you probably want to join, ie. probably good news for you.


Hang on=>To: anthon.developers@gmail.com
So your the one behind Anthon, the OpenSUSE mod? SUSEStudio probably sold your details to OIN... I wouldn't contact them, but you can if you want. Not like you would be gullible enough to give them any personal details, although its also unlikely that they would help you in any way.
