So what?
..Well which of these people hold a patent or have tried to get one?...

Exactly. Only those that know how to play the game win. It doesn't disqualify opinion of the ground rules themselves though.

..Bottom-line, the have nots always think no one should have any...

Bollox.
You think it's simply jealousy?
How perfectly infantile of you.
I don't want to spend my development time with this BS. I betcha there's tons of patent infringements in my code.
Why? Because I can't keep up with the 5 million and counting patents out there.
Throw in the patenting of the bleeding obvious and it's not jealousy but common sense that prevails.

Not that you richie riches care what us plebs think. Well, not until it's too late.

Power to the people.

Joe
