I just received a letter from Digital Patent, LLC, owner of Boesjes, United States patent 6,799,165. These people are claiming that they own the patent for the way I am selling and delivering my ebooks and are trying to extort an insane amount of money from me. As I use Zen Cart, I am not sure how this can be. My understanding is that Zen Cart is open source.
Has anyone else been harassed by these people? Are they even legit?
BTW, they sent the letter to an address vacated some 7 years ago. My current business address is available on my website.
Here's a link to the US patent office with the patent information:

Any advice would be appreciated. Oh, and the patent was filed in 1998.
Thanks,
Marci
