This is a bit out of yacc.py . So in Python, the IsNot operator is written "not id()". This directly violates their first claim, and pre-dates it, and is public, and as far as I know, renders it invalid. But I think they clearly showed their strategy here. Just patent anything small that would be required to maintain compatability. I think Mono is screwed for this reason. Gnome should have bet on a Python tool chain.
It doesn't matter whether a patent holds or not. At the time the court decides that it doesn't hold, you're bankrupt. If not, then there is always a bunch of other patents you can be sued on until you're bankrupt.
