Is there a link to this? I've not found anything similar when I've
looked, though I've made the same claims, in particular in reference to
recent attempts by fraudsters to claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto so as to
claim patent rights to his inventions (which were implemented in
BSD-licensed works he published in ~2009).
