| Strativia Software LLC helps save money and families
Kenneth Kelly's reason for creating a budget and financial management software application, Budget Forecaster Software, over 3 years ago was simple – he wanted to save money and his family. Like most middle-class families, he noticed that although he and his wife had a decent amount of money coming in, at times there was equally as much going out. Around the same time, while reading Black Enterprise Magazine, he and his wife were introduced to the magazine's “Declaration of Financial Empowerment. After reading the article, they downloaded the kit, and agreed to take control of their financial destiny. Kenneth says that signing the “Declaration of Financial Empowerment" changed their outlook on finances from that day forward. He recognized that they needed a budget and that software would help with that.

EFF lawyer warns of e-learning patent dangers
A broad e-learning patent held by education and course management software company Blackboard is a growing source of controversy in the education community. The patent, which covers an "Internet-based education support system and methods," could potentially threaten increasingly popular open-source course management platforms like Moodle and subject universities to the risk of litigation. In a recent interview with The Chronicle of Higher Education, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) lawyer Jason Schultz explains the need for patent reform and describes the dangers of broad patents like the one granted to Blackboard. Although Blackboard has publicly pledged not to enforce its patent against open-source software distributors, universities, or non-commercial entities, there are many gray areas that make it difficult to guess what is permissible and what is not.
