Uniloc sues Mojang over alleged patent infringement in 'Mindcraft'
Yup, Mindcraft.
"Unfortunately for them, they're suing us over a software patent. If needed, I will throw piles of money at making sure they don't get a cent," Notch said on Twitter this morning. "Software patents are plain evil. Innovation within software is basically free, and it's growing incredibly rapid. Patents only slow it down."
Uniloc is seeking damages compounded by both pre and post-judgment interest, as well as ongoing royalties from Mojang. This should be a good one.

I love Notch's style... " If needed, I will throw piles of money at making sure they don't get a cent," .. If only we could all do that when people threatened to sue us :(
