Subject: [OT] Open Source Licenses against Software Patents

Applying for a new RubyForge project is harder than I thought :-), cause I have 
to choose a suitable license. I'd like to have a very liberal and easily 
understandable one like the MIT license [1] for example. But I also want to 
explicitly exclude companies holding software patents from this license. Do you 
know of any licenses with similar goals?

Regards,
Pit
