Software patents are bad for the industry - its one reason I retired early rather than spend all my time fending off patent trolls instead of "innovating".
However, its going to take a few more decisive blows against software patents before "corporate lawyers" decide its a lost game. Or before the big software giants get some new legislation passed. Either way, its going to be a long slog. At least now the slope isn't as steep. --Bruce Jon 'maddog' Hall wrote: > This article about software patents popped up today.
