Who are we supposed to then feel sorry for? The IRS- for lost "revenues," or for the Big Company's?
Personally, I feel if the Big Company's do this for tax relief, thats great news for them. They spent the money developing the patents, the IRS did none except stick out their palms demanding people cough up money.

IBM has some 40k patents, them kicking out a mere 500, whether or not it will advance open source may be a good thing. IBM has been a strong supporter of LINUX development for sometime. It has definitely helped attract more eyeballs.

Big Blue, not the company it once was, still has set a strong historic mark on computing. They could be much more of a M$ than M$, if they had not released the PC architecture. Without IBM doing what they had, M$ would not be where they are today, since M$ only develops software.

Had Apple followed IBM, they may have gained a much stronger footing then they have today.

I wonder if the releasing of patents is a rub to SCO.

For all conversions, if the source code set includes characters not included in the target code set, conversion and output for all such characters will be done using a substitute characters. zh_TW-euc to UTF-8 and UTF-8 to zh_TW-euc Conversion modules are provided to convert CNS 11643 plane 1, 2 and 3 characters between EUC-TW and UTF-8 encodings. If input data which does not belong to the above charset is encountered, it will be replaced with the substitute character (zh_TW-euc: '??' (0x3f3f), UTF-8: U+FFFD (0xefbfbd)). zh_TW-euc to zh_TW-big5 and zh_TW-big5 to zh_TW-euc Conversion modules can be used to convert CNS 11643 plane 1 and 2 characters between EUC-TW and BIG5 encodings. If input data which does not belong to the above charset is encountered, it will be replaced with the subsitute character (zh_TW-euc: '__' (0x5f5f), zh_TW-big5: '__' (0x5f5f)). Note that the seven additional popular characters from ETen extension have been supported, they belong to CNS 11643 plane 3. zh_TW-euc to zh_TW-iso2022-7 and zh_TW-iso2022-7 to zh_TW-euc Conversion modules can be used to convert CNS 11643 characters between EUC-TW and ISO-2022-7 encodings. zh_TW-euc to zh_TW-iso2022-CN-EXT and zh_TW-iso2022-CN-EXT to zh_TW-euc Conversion modules can be used to convert GB 2312-80, CNS 11643 plane 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 characters between EUC-TW and IS0-2022-CN-EXT encodings. zh_TW-big5 to UTF-8 and UTF-8 to zh_TW-big5 Conversion modules are provided to convert Big-5 characters between BIG5 and UTF-8 encodings. If input data which does not belong to the above charset is encountered, it will be replaced with the substitute character (zh_TW-big5: '??' (0x3f3f), UTF-8: U+FFFD (0xefbfbd)). Note that the seven additional popular characters from ETen extension have been supported, they are 0xf9d6 -- 0xf9dc. zh_TW-big5 to zh_TW-iso2022-7 and zh_TW-iso2022-7 to zh_TW-big5 Conversion modules can be used to convert Big-5 characters between BIG5 and ISO-2022-7 encodings. If input Big-5 data which does not have corresponding CNS 11643 character is encountered, it will be replaced with the substitute character (zh_TW-iso2022-7: '__' (0x5f5f)). zh_TW-big5 to zh_TW-iso2022-CN-EXT and zh_TW-iso2022-CN-EXT to zh_TW-big5 Conversion modules are provided to convert Big-5 characters between BIG5 and ISO-2022-CN-EXT encodings.
