There is no such animal as "software patent"...
There are patents for processes, or method patents, in various
technical fields (business method patents are really a separate issue),
and today many processes can be controlled by some type of
microprocessor running some software code...
(BTW, the v
There are three Patent types, Design, Utility, and Plant.
You are correct that there is no "software patent" per se. You cannot
identify one by serial number or classification. There is no
bright-line demarcation as to what is a hardware, software, or firmware
patent. And since many systems (m

A operating system can exist perfectly fine without a kernel, it might
not be usable, but it is still a operating system. The GNU system
existed in this form for quite sometime. That you wish to invent
non-standard definitions of the term "operating system" is quite
silly.

That does not follow.
Yes, it does, if and only if you are permited to modify the GPL. But
the GPL is licensed under the following terms:

Nonsense. Embedded applications work directly on top of a kernel.

While modifications to the text of the GPL are not allowed you can get
exactly the same effect by putting them in a seperate file (you must ha

Linux is just a kernel, using it without any operating system is
impossible. GNU is one operating system that works with Linux, and
there are some embedded versions too.

Well, yes, since auto* uses m4, it would be strange if the auto*
documentation wouldn't have anything about the very language that is
used to write autoconf scripts.
