I Agree...
... that software should not be allowed to be patented. How many source code files are there out there that have things like:
i = i + 1 <-- Most languages
for(;;) <-- C / C++

It's time to put pressure on the Patent Office to stop giving out patents for software.

Why doesn't copyright also stifle innovation?  rapson | 12/10/04
You are 100% spot on. Copyright is meaningless to software.  No_Ax_to_Grind | 12/10/04
