Red Hat Makes its Position Patent
,----[ Quote ]
| My reasoning was that this was an extremely technical consideration of the
| issue of software patents, and that the people pondering the matter would not
| be interested in vague philosophical waffle about why software patents were a
| bad thing. They would be looking for keenly-argued, legalistic comments of
| the kind I was manifestly unable to provide.
|
| Instead, I thought it better to leave this one to those better able to obtain
| some heavy legal advice on what should be written, and how.

| I think that a more appropriate title for the article would be "Red Hat
| speaks for us all on software patents".
|
|
| Thank you, Red Hat.
|
|
| Red Hat presents the Open Source argument against software patents very well.
| I would also like to see a commercial software company such as Microsoft
| present the commercial argument against software patents. Software patents
| are less than a zero sum game among the commercial software companies. They
| create a net drag on the commercial software industry. Microsoft has the
| largest loses of any company in the software patent wars and they are the
| logical commercial candidate to lobby for the abolition of software patents.
