Ah, so there are positive aspects to the current system! Now we're getting
somewhere.
Now we find ourselves with a view that's more balanced: how important are
company buyouts? Important enough to tolerate the existence of patent
trolls? If software patents get abolished overnight, won't we see less
acquisitions? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
See, this is exactly what I meant when I say that people who tend to have a
knee jerk reaction about this ("software patents are evil!") need to think
the consequences a bit more thoroughly. That's the kind of discussion that
I'd like to have.
