Dan,
I also believe in SW patents, .. but the current farce with RSA, even you have to
admit, is stupid! Why cannot developers purchase a license (I do not call $100,000 a
license fee for ANYONE)? Why has RSA abandoned RSAREF?
I think even you would have to agree that this is a SW patent gone WAY off track.
