About.com has several patents. I bet this site violates one of those. http://www.about.com/gi/pages/patent.htm

Thanks (ah, I guess :-). Do you think the topic of this article is snappy? Or should these be put in a more general "Website patents" article? Ciaran 01:24, 3 September 2009 (EDT)

A) The title is spelled wrong. B) You could do website patents, and then mention as a subsection, which one of those patents this site violates. If you were to go for website patents, this page would be a pretty big page. No problem, I just saw they had patents when I was doing my research. I give no assurance that this is correct. Nicalvaro

Heh. Fixed the page name. As for the scope, I'll think it over (or wait for someone else to make the decision). Thanks for the links. Correctness isn't an issue - the main goal of swpat.org is to give people a good starting point for their work. Ciaran 00:11, 4 September 2009 (EDT)
