They're asking for the wrath of St. Postel with this.<p>To co-opt a piece of a public internet standard that was arrived at through the work of lots of people is really beyond the pale.<p>Godaddy ought to be boycotted over this, simply take all of your business away from them referring to the filing of this patent as your reason for closing your account.<p>I'm pretty sure that if enough people do it they'll wonder if this is such a good idea.<p>This besides the obvious fact that they are even able to file this is utter nonsense, they ought to be rejected on the spot and fined for filing a ridiculous patent.
First, patents related to software must die, asap.<p>Second, there is so much prior art on this, if it gets approved we know the patent office is on the take.
