Thomas was part of a FFII crew, that worked behind curtains to gather information about the backgrounds on the political rush on software patents. Soon they found themself in an investigation about the “who” “what” and “why” of a hidden agenda. He is now known for amusing criticism of that “intellectual property heals every mental illness” movement, because he knows far to much to take it for serious.
