Mycroft, one of the few (if not only) self-hostable and open source voice assistant projects out there, has been litigated almost to the ground by a patent troll, company Voice Tech Corp.
They've asked for new investment, but not donations. I think we can help, regardless!
Mycroft's published a story of Mycroft and patent trolls about 2 years ago. You can get the ebook for about $10.00. I encourage you to buy if you want to support the Mycroft project!
