As mentioned in Debian's patent policy
<http://www.debian.org/legal/patent> point 3, "please refrain from
posting patent concerns publicly or discussing patents outside of
communication with legal counsel, where they are subject to
attorney-client privilege".
Transparency and public discussion are usually good things, but patents
are an area where they can be harmful.
