SOAP patent controversy

Despite lobbying against software patents, Red Hat has raised some concerns when it began applying for software patents related to SOAP without offering a strong non-aggression promise to the free software community.

The main criticism is that their promise is not a licence, it's not irrevocable (so if Red Hat was bought out, it could disappear), and that it only applies to developers, not users or distributors.
