Professor Hollaar's Amicus Brief in Bilski

I've been reading some of the amicus briefs filed in the In Re Bilski case pending before the US Supreme Court. There is an amicus brief [PDF] filed with the Supreme Court in the Bilski case that I think will interest you. It discusses software and whether it is math, it misrepresents FOSS, and it pushes software patents. It was filed by Professor Lee Hollaar and IEEE-USA.
If that name sounds familiar, it should. Yes, this is the same Professor Hollaar that Alexander Terekhov and Daniel Wallace so often have quoted and linked to in their anti-GPL campaign here and elsewhere on the Internet. And digging a bit, I find a connection between Hollaar and Senator Orrin Hatch, whose son is one of the attorneys representing SCO, and between Hollaar and Caldera back in the days when it was suing Microsoft. Knock me over with a feather. It's a small, small SCO world. And I detect a Psystar shadow, too.
