Hi

I hope this is the right list to write to.

A danish company just got a patent which we at SSLUG www.sslug.dk do not
think is a new invention.

I want to get in contact with somebody who can confirm that this patent is
not new and has been in PostgreSQL before the patent was taken.

If we can prove that this patent was not new when requested, we plan to
start a trial against the company or Patent Office to get the patent
redrawn.

It is a bit troublesome to get all the documents.
You can find a tar-ball here:

There is four pages which is interesting:
