The LPF seems to be more troubled about patents causing problems to 
programmers than protecting the rights of developers under the patent 
code. That is where it's name comes from. 



For names, how about:  "League of Justice", "Legion of Superheroes" or 
"Hall of Justice" ?            

Moderator: Don't even think about erasing the joke, eh?
