I also possibly disagree with Craig on patents (although I agree with him on everything usually!) I also notably disagree on this issue with eg. Jeroen to the point of being sick of talking about it :) Note that FWIW other rational, objective personalities have, in fact, agreed with me on patents http://www.interestingsoftware.com/temp/pate1.jpg http://www.interestingsoftware.com/temp/pate2.jpg http://www.interestingsoftware.com/temp/pate3.jpg so it's not a knock-down issue. Also I urgently recommend this book http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0691096155 to anyone interested in these issues.
