CloudFlare is offering $100,000 in bounties to invalidate patents.

A "Patent Troll" sued CloudFlare for infringing on some overly vague software patents.  CloudFlare decided to put them out of business by offering bounties to anyone that can provide the prior art that legally invalidates these patents.

Project Jengo is still on at Cloudflare.  They posted an update report a few weeks ago and are paying out the first round of of bounty money as well as shipping t-shirts.  Since I first posted the link above they have invalidated or are in the process of challenging 5 of the patents in question.  They have also uncovered more then 30 other patents that they are offering bounties for invalidating.  Here is the link:
