That exactly what I am insist upon. Patents is just socially acceptable instrument "To promote the progress of science and useful arts", by securing exclusive rights to their respective owners. They do not do that, they might have been intended to. But they do not. Nor is it acceptable, patents in this day and age only hinder any progress of science and useful arts. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
