"?but being software, should not be patentable"? Did you really just say that?
Yes I did. I am firmly opposed to the concept of software patents.
Mathematical formulas are not patentable. Sentence constructions are not
patentable. All patent portfolios do is block smaller companies out of the
marketplace.
Unfu*kingbelievable.
No point in writing a book then. It's just words. Doesn't 'do' anything.
Books don't get patented, they're copyrighted. So does software.
The software patent crap is just to give corporations one more weapon
they can use to quash competition.
