This only highlights the fact that all software patents need to be done away with. Ditto for “business method” patents.
The patent system was conceived in an age when things did not change rapidly and the founders wanted to spur innovation. Software is innovative by it’s very nature; it cannot be otherwise. Patents are now hindering innovation.
Patent terms must be reduced, and patents for software and business methods need to be ended completely.
Pure anarchistic bravo sierra from someone who has, in all likelihood, never invented a single thing in his entire life.
