RAND: “Random and non-discriminatory”
Heise.de‘s usually excellent Stefan Krempl, who does most of their articles on copyright and patents, has sweetened my Friday afternoon with a minor slip.
In an article about various EU folks crying wolf about how the Chinese will eat our lunch if we don’t introduce tight patents on really, really everything (ok, I’m exaggerating, but not by much), he expands the acronym "RAND" to:
random and non-discriminatory
Made me smile.
