Hello all

In the Sunday meet, there were some students present who were working on some health care software and wanted to patent it. I would like to point out to them the essay "The Danger of Software Patents" by Richard Stallman. (http://lpf.ai.mit.edu/Patents/danger-of-software-patents.txt) Also have a look at the site of League of Programming Freedom (http://lpf.ai.mit.edu/) for more essays on this topic.

Moreover, you cannot patent software. You can patent only ideas.
